From what I've gathered, the dog is in a Basenji experienced home and she can stay there as long as she has to. The people that are caring for the dog have contacted know breeders in the area and have placed ads in the newspaper and online. Members from BRaT and Basenji Club of America have this cross posted. There are a lot of people, local and internationally, trying to help this Basenji girl find her way home.

Great find.

Wow, I hadn't even thought about animals being stuck in Europe. Here's hoping they all make it back/to their homes.

Small world! How cool to read about Zest's brother in the WSJ !
Dr. Wolf, of Air Animal, used to be the only vet in Tampa open on late Saturday and we took our first basenji to him many years ago, before he started Air Animal.
I would have had to drive across the alps too if one of mine was stranded, I'm sure we all would! -
yea, i sometimes go to google news and type in "basenji" just to see what comes up. I did that last night and this article came up, but it was late and i didn't read it then, figuring I'd save it for the morning. Before I got around to reading it today, I saw where Peg Grundman emailed the same link to me with a note saying Zest's littermate was Pen, the basenji in the attached article. I had no idea. Like Kipawa I'd never thought about the animals being stranded due to flight problems.

How random…Basenjis and volcanos. Thanks for sharing.
