Identikit of the basenji-dependent doc / 1

In this series of serious (semi) articles, we will study in detail the profile of the typical dependent basenji, that is of that human species, nowadays in strong increase, subject to a serious form of dependence on the dog of basenji breed!

Let's analyze the first symptom that characterizes the subject affected by basenji-dependence: the obsessive compulsive pursuit of any subject belonging to the race, who even enters only for an infinitesimal time frame in his visual field.

In this comic, " The Orange Dog " gives us an excellent example of the first typical basenji-dependent trait:


As the comic illustrates well, the subject suffering from basenji addiction does not stop at nothing to reach the dog - basenji, not dog! -visited: jumps off buses and trains, launches into a run-down race in rush-hour traffic, stops the car on the tram tracks or in the middle of a roundabout. He runs after the unsuspecting owners of the beloved dog, calling them out loud to be noticed, gesturing like a fool if they head in his direction, hoping that they let themselves be reached.

A basenji-employee would stop at nothing: they would be ready to jump over a collapsed bridge or a ditch, to climb up steep cliffs, to sneak through the open windows of the fiftieth floor of a skyscraper!

The basenji-dependency endows them with extraordinary powers, thanks to which these too human humans become supermen and, having overcome all the obstacles scattered along the way, they get their reward: reaching their darling, looking at him smiling and showing the owner, usually his once suffering from basenji-addiction, photos of their basenji!

I admit it: I'm an anonymous basenji-dependent! And you?
