The vet I used to work for did the spay surgery on my first basenji, but not that day.
Seems she did something he had never encountered before: she took her paw and lifted the latch on the cage at night, and ate almost all of the bag of dogfood he had stored in that room!
That was the day we learned what we had heard: basenjis use their paws like cats (the breed of dog for people who like cats)
