- Our beloved basenji Dabi died tragically and unexpectedly in the early hours of February 15, 2024.
It’s taken me awhile to be able to tell you about this.
Christian brothers and sisters, please say a little prayer for Dave and me, if you would.

I'm so sorry about Dabi! We've had two Basenjis and had to deal with the same kind of loss. Basenjis are special, unique animals, unlike any other. Our first, Kip, died of cancer in his sinus cavities, and we lost our Pippin to old age. I couldn't have any other breed of dog. It's been over a year, and I still miss Pippin.
Ours loved to rip the squeakers out of toys, too. After that he was bored with them.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am more saddened of this loss compared to my dog. My dog Sheiba who to was a basenji passed away almost a year ago to a tumor in her heart at 16 in a half years old. Wherever your sweat Dabi is he is in a better place playing with my dear Sheiba and others!
thank you for your kind words, ben. ❤️ in addition to dabi and prisca, my husband and i have had 4 other basenjis in the past. like your sheiba they passed away after they’d each lived moderately long or very long lives. we were so sad to lose them, too. but losing dabi less than 2 months after his 4th birthday was so unexpected… so hard. and it happened so suddenly we had no time to prepare or say goodbye.
i’m sorry you lost your sheiba. i hope you have or will have another basenji some day. ❤️ of course none replaces the other, but a basenji is such a joy to have. ~amy
I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you, Charlene. ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. Our family has a 3 year old basenji named Titan and I Tcan honestly say this breed is special in many ways other canines are not. Titan has become like one of my children, as well as becoming my best friend. He has to be by far the most intelligent, intuitive, and loving dog I’ve ever owned. Everyone calls him my shadow because I can’t go or do anything without Titan at my feet. At times he can be a bit overwhelming, but listening to your heartfelt story of Dabi makes me realize that Titans time on earth is most likely going to be much shorter than ours and I need to make sure that little guy has the best little basenji life he can because one day he won’t be there at my feet anymore and I’m praying that day doesn’t come for a while. Thank you for sharing your story and making us all remember how important the here and now is. We’ll be praying for you ❤
thank you so very much for your kind message. yes, you are right. i don’t think we can begin to explain to people who haven’t had one just how very unique and special the breed is. you are exactly right. basenjis aren’t just intelligent and independent-thinking, but intuitive as well.
and, like your titan to you, dabi was my husband dave’s shadow. for 4 years dabi was dave’s little sidekick. we’ve had 4 basenjis in the past, and they were super special. one of them was MY special girl, she loved me so very much. but she came with issues. she had been a puppy mill breeder for her first 7 years of life so she was very timid and nervous. but she trusted me.
dabi was completely well-adjusted and just enjoyed life greatly while at dave’s side. dave has taken dabi’s untimely death especially hard. we had no idea our time with him would be so short. he came from a very good breeder, a show breeder of over 50 years. this has blindsided us all.
they are like our children, as you say. enjoy your titan. i know you will. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m sooo sorry for your loss.
Thank you very much, Mando. ❤️
Dabi's with my Sheba in Basenji heaven, and she had one of those hedgehogs too.
aww. my husband and i talk about hoping that God allows our pets in heaven with us. just yesterday i was imagining that dabi could play with a real hedgehog in heaven like he did here… without hurting it. ha ha. wouldn’t that be funny if that’s what sheba and dabi are doing?
