I remember when I was in 2nd grade I saw on tv "Goodbye My Lady" so it was then I learned about basenjis and it was just a dream that I would ever have one.
On my 40th birthday I got my first show dog (after having 2 basenji pets a couple of years earlier) and I will admit, that I probably will never have another breed of dog
They are not a breed for everyone, but I think I understand them because I wouldn't doubt that I was one in a prior life
