The Silent Woof

Can all dogs bark? Well, yes, with the exception of one: the African Wolf Dog, known as the Basenji, cannot make this sound. This small, short-haired houndlike hunting dog is sometimes referred to as the African Barkless Dog.

"The disposition of noble dogs is to be gentle with people they know and the opposite with those they don't know...How, then, can the dog be anything other than a lover of learning since it defines what's its own and what's alien."
