There are many myths and legends about the basenji dog. In addition to the ancient Egyptian era, there is also such a mythical story on the ancient African continent. Gather honey and feed your family by trading it.

One day, when he went to collect honey in the wild forest, he found a magnificent house, which was actually the residence of a god. He saw a flame burning in the residence from a distance. At that time, Han Ge didn't know that it was actually fire. When he got closer to see it more clearly, he found a dog standing motionless in front of the door. This dog was raised by the gods to guard the residence. , and its name is Rukuma.

Nake Hango stepped forward and asked Lukuma: " What is that thing behind you?"

Rukuba replied: "That thing is called fire."

Then Hango asked again: "What is this fire for? ? "

Lukuba replied: "It can bake food, drive away wild animals, and illuminate for warmth..."

But after listening to Hange Heartbroken, he made friends with Lukuba, hoping to get fire.

Lu Kuba said: "If I stole some fire to give you, then, what kind of return can I get from you?"

"I will spend my whole life Time to take care of you," Nako Hango replied.

Lukuba thought for a while, turned around and walked down the threshold, and decided to steal some fire and give it to Nakohango before God returned home.

After Nake Hange got the fire, he returned to the village as he wished. He did not use the fire alone, but distributed the fire to everyone in the village. Villages benefit from fire.

Unfortunately, the dog named Lukuba was rejected by God because he stole fire for humans without authorization, and finally he was expelled from the house. Because Lukuba had nowhere to go, he could only wander alone in the wild forest. By chance, he came to the village where Nakohango was, and smelling Nakohango's home, he walked to the door and shouted : "Nake Hange, you once promised to take care of me, will you keep your promise now?"

Hearing Rukuba's voice, Nako Hango expressed that he was very happy with its arrival and kept his promise Promised to keep Rukuba,Not only that, but Nakohango swore that his descendants would also continue to take care of Rukuba's descendants forever.

The fire stealer Rukuba in African mythology is actually the Basenji. Today, the Basenji has become a good hunter and a very popular family dog !
