How sad, that makes me want to cry!
I had a rescue & he had separation anxiety. I realized within 2 weeks I could not leave him home alone. He hated his crate & 1 day he got out. He was so anxious & terrified that the Levolor blinds, everything on the table & bookshelf went. The only way I knew he would be safe is if he had a person w/him. For a year, if I couldn't take him, I didn't go or 1 of my sisters would come & "Spice-sit" (his name).
After a year or so, his former owner was able to have him back. Honestly, you would not believe how he changed, whenever his owner calls now, I hear what a happy boy he is. He can stay home alone, w/the other family dogs. He is happy, so happy.
I miss that dapper dog so much, he has been with his former owner for over 2 years & I still cry sometimes I miss him so much. But I feel so blessed he is happy!
I hope I will be able to have another Basenji, I love their independence, intelligence & oneriness! Even Spice's problems do not make me wary of another. I'd have another in a heartbeat! It is my 'breed of choice'.
