By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Emmett and Dorothy White of Washington raise Basenjis—dogs of a different sort. A rare breed that was the royal favorite of Egyptian Pharaohs as far back as 3,000 B.C., Basenjis are unique among canines. They lick themselves like cats, never bark, wrinkle up their foreheads and cry real tears when they’re sad. and smell more like a movie theater than a dog.
“In the early morning, after they’ve been asleep, they smell like buttered popcorn. But you have to bury your nose into their coats to even smell that,” Emmett said.
According to experts, Basenjis can’t bark because they’re missing a fold in their vocal cords. But the Whites’ dogs, Rev and Pucker, are far from silent. “They have a wider variety of vocal sounds than most dogs. They’re just judicious in using them,” Dorothy said.
