I was living in Ghana for a few years and the year before I left had gotten my dog as a puppy from a neighbor. We became so attached, of course, that I couldn't leave him behind. It actually was very easy to bring a dog into the country–only a proof of rabies vaccination was required (surprising since the US has the strictest immigration laws for people!). He has adjusted very well, loves taking walks with a leash (in ghana he would run wild, and follow me around on my bicycle.) He refuses to walk in wet grass, though, which is something I think he shares with basenjis? I didn't post any pictures of how his forehead wrinkles--that's when he looks most like a basenji!
Dog Park = exhaustion

Yep, that's one happy puppy. There's one thing I can't figure out. Is that a fan or a heater?

AWW Thank You for Sharing!! Tooo Cute! I wish there was a Doggie Park close to us :((((

It's a fan heater, or is it called heater fan? Here in norway they are called "Vifteovn", so directly translated its fan heater. Just a fan with a heated element inside, so it blows out the heat.

Sounds like a ceramic heater (heating element inside with a fan distributing the heat).
I need to get one for my B. I think he'd thoroughly enjoy it.

I am sure he would. Gizmo lives in front of that thing ever since I bought it. And if it's not on, he will lay there and poke/claw at it. :p
The humming sound of the fan is almost therapeutic, he seems very relaxed with it on. -
If you have a hair dryer try that on your Basenjis, keeping it moving of course so as not to burn them. My last Basenji used to love it when i was drying my hair and gave him a turn with it. Wish i'd filmed him

Mine runs from the hair dryer. I've tried to use it after bathing him a few times (used the lowest setting too) and he went for the nearest corner. I didn't want to traumatize him. I guess some Basenjis are more tolerable of noises than others. :o

Great videos! Gizmo is a big boy now! I love the second video with him trying not to fall asleep..

Kananga, Benji used to run outside through the cat flap when he heard fireworks to investigate

That is one curious Basenji.
