I believe the basenji is a barkless dog but I don't know it's personality traits.
Basenjis are "barkless," but they still make noise. There's no dog that will never make a peep and not all "loud mouthed" breeds are noisey (e.g. I've met some very quiet beagles). Basenjis can be a difficult breed and I would only recommend getting one if you are very experienced or you're willing to work very hard to prevent behavioral problems.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
