    I just can't stop thinking about this. I've been hugging my boy just a little tighter.

    @DolceMomma: Hi all, I got the most wonderful gift tonight…holding my beloved little Spot on my lap and in my arms while he slept. He's home with us at last. Thank you all so much for your thoughts, your prayers, and your help. Thank God for the happy news! I'm sure that Amy is happy to have Mr. Spot back in her arms. I'm so glad to read another story to encourage lost owners to NEVER give up on lost b's! :)

    @seaslugg@aol.com: We got Raven home tonight!! Thank you for support!!! I am so happy you got Raven home. You now can be a good ambassador to the "don't use invisible fencing" brigade. Call any animal shelter and find out how many dogs they get in with collars on. Once a dog bolts through the pain, they won't risk it coming back in. Many end up dead. There are lots of options if you can't have "real" fencing, but often the only choice is simply go out with your dog, on a lead or line. Apt folks survive doing it. Oh wait, and so do the dogs. Please post pics and yes, PLEASE tell us how you got your pet back!

    I am glad that he is in a home where he is known and one that can deal with his issues. Do let us know how it goes with his rebonding to you and your family.

    I don't know, the picture is so bad that I can't tell. I also remembered someone in southern NC was looking for a lost b-mix, but wasn't sure if it was on this forum or somewhere else. It's still a cute dog.

    <> This is generally considered not good advice for dogs like Basenjis. Unlike other dogs, they are not very forgiving with people that cause them pain. You will likely end up with a dog that becomes fearful of people reaching for his head. Often squeezing a dog's muzzle to alleviate play biting will have the opposite effect as well, as it charges a dog up even more. And FTR, rubbing a dog's face in anything is cruel, and ineffective teaching. Not one, single professional trainer that is up to date on current techniques would advocate that. There are many threads here about working to reduce puppy play biting with Basenjis. Look under the training threads.
