Lost one of my best friends, Rusty, at age 15. We had him since he was a puppy. If the picture attached successfully, he is the red and white Basenji on the right, snuggling with his black and white brother, Oscar on the left.

Basenji puppy named 'Computer' in the 1997 documentary:

Jump to 1:12:45 to see him!

The red and white (Rusty) is 13 years old and Oscar is 9. They are either getting along great or snarling and snapping at each other. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground with them.

Mostly they are getting along great. In fact, if I take just Oscar out of the house (like to the vet), Rusty will howl the entire time that he is gone! I don't know if he misses him, or if he is jealous that he doesn't get to go along too.

My two best friends, Oscar and Rusty, on their favorite bird-watching perch and greeting me in the morning.
