Danti Myali shared hilarious notes on the South African township dog:

"Just don't expect to see her everyday in the yard and don't bother calling animals services. Ensure to attend as many funerals as you can with her or you could stay home but she will attend with or without your permission or knowledge. Also, she does her own tricks and follows her own instructions. Don't get used to any obedience from her, it's often occasional."
