    Very sweet book that was pretty much like I expected it would be. The depiction of the basenji laughing and crying were amusing and touching. The boy in the story was quite stoic at the end, much more than I would have been.

    I'm away for a little R and R for the next 5 days and am bringing August Magic, another book about a basenji. I'll give you the Coles notes on it when I return next weekend.

    Have a wonderful, happy, basenji-filled week. May you experience all the good things life offers.

    Having grown up and spent a lot of time in the mt farm area, when people routinely shot dogs for LOOKING wrong at a chicken, refusing to give up a bird when hunting etc, I didn't really fixate on the training methods when I saw it as a child nor in the years since. I am glad things have changed, but training was what it was and every animal was a commodity of some sort, not just a pet.

    And it really bothers me that people still list Basenjis as "no bark" without also noting they are NOT mute, along with the "no" shed (wrong!!), ….

    OMG….this film was the catalyst that started my daughter on her quest for a Basenji. For years and years I had to endure the Walter Brennan character saying, 'She's got birds. SHE'S GOT BIRDS'. I think that's why we finally caved and got our first B. We never wanted to see that movie again!!! In hind sight, the cheezy movie was MUCH easier to take than a Basenji pup. I'm looking for the book on line---just for my collection of B. ephemera.

    I personally know a Basenji that died from raisin toxicity. It is definitely a real, and serious concern.
