Basenji
This was a young neutered male Basenji.
I took him from a kill shelter as a rescue.
Athough he had a fear aggression problem he was a
wonderful loving spirit toward me and my daughter.
He was with us for a mere week and then
(because I trusted that breed rescue is ALWAYS "rescue")
I sent him to Mellisa in Ohio who promised she had a home for him.
With in a week of getting him even though I do dog behavior
counseling for a living and would have taken him back
Melissa had him killed. By my own poor choice --
not wanting to take the effort to integrate him into my five dog pack
(he was dog aggressive) -- in a selfish act I gave his life away.
May the Diva of the species forgive me; may the death of
my friend serve a noble purpose.
