I tried the link and there were several videos on octopi??? while i think octopi are amazing creatures (imagine a basenji with 8 suction cupped legs!), it's not what I was looking for.
Bendy head?
-
They would rather move their head than their body.
Kananga does this all the time. He'll sit down next to me at my desk, facing away from me, but then he'll rotate his head back to look back at me. They are talented in that regard.

My b girl plants her butt down, sits up, flings her arms and head around.
Its a hoot..mostly when she is trying to get our boy to play.
If I can get hubby to video it, I will share, we call it the basenji dance. -
I'm just waiting for someone here to call their basenji "Linda Blair" - from The Exorcist. When I was at the Seattle Dog Show last weekend, I got to see a bendy neck. A basenji was being held in his human's arms, but the neck and head were twisted around and resting on top of her shoulder. Utterly sweet.

Yes, that is Sugar. We call her the exorcist. When she is in a crate, she will roll her head all the way around and fling herself backwards. I will try to get a video of it. When we were on the road last year, she taught the male next to her how to do it!

Here are some pics of Malaika sleeping last night
-
Shelley, that just does not look very comfortable! But obviously it is to Malaika. Your Malaika has a very shiny coat!
-
Shaye sleeps with her neck stretched and her head turned around almost backward a lot of the time - also she sits on the chairs with her front paws on the armrest, and her head tipped way up on top of them - looks like it would be uncomfortable, but she falls asleep that way too.
-
OMG those are great pics! LOL… too funny! Thanks for posting!
-
Here's a cute bendy-head for you. OMG this puppy was too adorable!
-
Great pictures.
Otis sleeps somewhat like that too, sometimes..so uncomfortable, you'd think, but I guess not. -
Those pics of Malaika cracked me up. I have never seen a dog sleep like that before!
-
Me neither. Medjai sleeps in all sorts of weird positions, but nothing with his head not sitting on something like that.
-
What wonderful pictures!
I am so sorry I never managed to get Sayblee's picture. She did what Maikaila does, but could actually REST HER HEAD on her back and look at you. Thank you all for sharing! If you find more,let me know!
-
Is this the pose you were looking for of a Basenji resting her head on her back and looking at you?
-
Here is the picture again. I accidentally made it too small on the previous post.
-
I've never caught Gossy sleeping in the position of Malaika (up and over) but she does do the bendyhead generally when she's totally relaxed and doesn't want to move but wants to watch what's going on around her. Come to think of it, I've never seen another breed do this.
-
I haven't seen them do it either. Great pics, just not what I wanted. LOL I think I need a video cam on for a week or 2.
-
We call it the SEAL head… they twist it around to view stuff but do like a 360.. my husband thinks they look like linda blair on the exorsist... lol but they dont throw up.. usually. thank goodness.
-
Maya does the bendy head thing. She does this weird thing where she will come and sit on the sofa right next to me, leaning against me, but with her back to me and will completely ignore me til I say her name. As soon as i do she flips her head right up and over like Malaika!! VERY weird but it always makes me laugh. They have the strangest habits….!!

An old pic of Zuri
Not comfortable - in MY opinion
