@morsesa I've always thought that Koa was such a great name for a Basenji living in Hawaii, one of my favorite places on the planet. And, I've been to a few. Thanks for sharing that memory. :oncoming_fist: :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes: :thumbs_up:

We lived in Hawaii and we bought him in NZ from a friend. Cost $2,000 for him and the air fare to Hawaii. When we got him, he was a pup and we sat him in a large Hawaiian koa bowl for his photo.

Best dog ever.

On TV one day there was the program called Good By My Lady. The dog in the show was a Basenji.

Would love to see the photo of him in the Koa bowl! Do you still have it?

I have the movie , I saw it when I was 9 that's when I decided I needed to have a basenji some day. It was a bit of a tear jerker. When I told my girls about it they bought me the movie. Your basenji looks just like my Izzy. Sorry for your loss.

@morsesa I had to blow up Koa's picture so that I could read it. You two look like you were busy! I guessing with the trainer and handlers listed that you showed Koa quite a bit? Was that done in Hawaii, or on the mainland? I'm curious if there are dog shows on the islands. They have a good size population, so why not? That would have been fun to see.
