This is a pic of my dog, Zion in Ghana

This makes me so sad! It looks JUST like the dog I had in Ghana!!! I miss my poor Fido! She was killed about a year after I left because she stole the neighbors eggs.

Are you serious!!!

I call Ghana all the time to ask about my dog. I threatened to malice, fight, and bring down the wrath if anything happened to my dog while I'm away.

I was called "Dog Mommy" and my dog was called "spoiled dog" I had him since he was a baby, and could barely eat solid food. I miss Zion

Though most dogs are mixed breeds in Africa, this one really looks like a Basenji breed.

How cute I love the house and surroundings Asante.

It’s so nice to finally see beautiful picture of Africa!

My mother is African (from Angola) and when they show Africa on tv (here in Sweden) it’s only from the worse parts, that’s one of the reasons way most of the Europeans think Africans are not civilized.

I am so glad you made this point . When I traveled to Ghana, a man asked me to please go back to America and tell the people here that Africa is not as it is portrayed in the media. He said " We dress the same as you. We don't run around naked and wild animals like lions, elephants, and tigers aren't roaming the streets. Please tell them we are civilized people."

It angers me to see Africa and Africans portrayed as barbarians . The media chooses to show pictures only of naked starving children living in the bush and half naked men and women who only constitute a small population of that particular country.

Some one asked me when I returned from Ghana "Did you see lions and other wild animals walking about?" I responded: "Yes. In the zoo."

There are many people in Ghana living way better than myself. Beautiful homes on acres of land, a "gate man", servant/boys quarters, home helpers, etc.... And this is VERY common in Ghana and other parts of Africa.

Sorry, yall...had to let that out. Had to vent

So Funny I was asked the exact same questions about Nigeria!!!!! I must have had a confused look on my face when she asked me that, then I said wait let me educate her. Amazing that they believe it is like they see on TV.
