Although he whimpered all the way home [9 miles] he totally stopped as soon as I put him down and Gypsy jumped up to "mother" him.
He never once uttered a peep of sorrow for his 'lost family' again.
A week later, he'd totally integrated himself into the pack and kept busy trying to learn how to run fast enough on wobbly puppy legs to keep up with a pack of long-legged Sight Hounds....:)
Here he is at 8 weeks learning Very Important Dog Things, such as cricket hunting.

Gypsy looks like she’s got some basenji in her.

I hear you. Joey, our pup, was a little fussy at the start of our trip home, but then fell asleep.
After that, he never showed the slightest sign of homesickness. He seemed thrilled to arrive at our home, and eager to settle in. He’s a joy.

And very intently paying attention to cricket hunting lessons, I see. :-)

And there lies the key. Pack animals can adapt to pretty much any situation.

A Basenji! What great dogs.
But the poor puppy will never learn to bark from her.
