Today BRAT volunteers learned that a rescue being transported got loose and was killed instantly in traffic. It is a sobering reminder of why it is important to keep basenjis in an enclosed area, but the loss is heartbreaking for all who love innocent animals. My heart goes out to the two volunteers who were doing their best to improve the life of this animal. There is a sadness in my heart I can't explain; I never even saw a picture of this dog that was lost. But I do know that the circumstances that bring these animals to the foster homes are most often because of neglect, abuse or unknown reasons (like Roxy). How sad that he did not get to experience the best of what humans can be. I do believe he's in a better place and running free and happy.
I came home from work and hugged my babies a little harder tonight.

I bet you did. I did, too, and thanked God again for my Buddy and Ashley.

That is so sad. I met Roxy at the dog park Saturday, Feb 7th and she is the sweetest angel. Iggy is such a sweet-heart too. I adopted a basenji mix (Lady) and she is the love of our lives.
