    LOST DOG!!!! Dec. 26, 2006, my family was traveling along I-20 Westbound in Vicksburg, MS and we were in a car wreck. Luckily, my husband and I were okay. We had our 3 dogs with us in the car, and 1 of them, Daisy, ran away from the wreck scene. We have been looking for her ever since, but this has been hard for us to do since we live 400 miles away from where the wreck happened. She has been seen many times in Vicksburg by mile marker 6 through 11. She's been hanging out by the rest area, truck weigh stations, and the old cross-over roads. She's also been seen on Hwy 80. Daisy is extremely scared due to the wreck and has shown to be afraid of people, as she typically runs and hides whenever someone spots her. If you see her, please let her come to you!!!! If you have any information about her, please don't hesitate to contact me! We really want our Daisy back!

    Would be interesting to hear of any updates have they found Daisy??

  • I don't think they've found her. They put her on the dogster page as of February 13th… :( Sad!

  • I've talked to the owner. They've driven from Tx back to their crash site at least 2 or 3 times. No luck yet.

    The local law enforcement has tried hard, but were not basenji savy enough to get close enough to her.

    They're hoping that she's found a new family.

  • Fingers and paws crossed for Daisy - her people must be a worried mess. How sad.

  • They had a sighting yesterday, and they believe that the dog has moved away from the interstate, and into the residential area of Vicksburg. She was seen with a pack last week, but was alone yesterday. They're hoping that since she's in the city now animal control will be more involved.

    @ELERICKSON40: Yes I agree. She is quite the mighty hunter and her nose is to the ground always!! Alot of times when she is digging in the couches and chairs she is trying to bury a bone. She will stuff a bone into the corner and actually take her nose and push imaginary dirt?? over the bone. It makes us laugh!! Yea, my B does the same, the first time I saw this I was so intriged, they are so smart. It is a funny thing to watch, Sahara will take a bone around the house in her mouth for the perfect place to bury it. If she can't find a place she is happy with she will prance around whinning the sadest noise like she is so sad. I actually pitch in and help her find a place, and she will most of the time agree on the place, she checks it out and then walks off. These dogs spoil you for any other breed, they are the best.

    Ninabeana – I'm echoing ChaseandZahra and others here but TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS on this because the p.b. certainly will pick up on them. Have your brother contact the pitbull rescue societies as well as the military support groups. It's tough I know.

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs
