Description
A small dog with a big heart, Django was named after a hero of the Wild West when as a six-week-old pup he taught the local bully a lesson. After a narrow escape from the life of a pampered lapdog, as safari operator Peter Comleys faithful companion he had the Okavango Delta at his feet, though he was equally happy to view life from a seat at the bar of the Duck Inn. Django travelled southern Africas wildest and most picturesque areas, nose to the ground, head out of the car window, or sometimes tactfully concealed from head to tail in the handbag of Peters wife Salome. To this pint-sized but charismatic character elephants were equals: his courage and understanding of the wild saved the lives of a number of his human companions, sometimes more than once. This is an entertaining safari from Botswana to Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa, crossing the Okavango Delta, going hunting with Kalahari Bushmen, and exploring the Namib Desert, Victoria Falls and the wilds of the Zambezi. Ever since "Jock of the Bushveld" was first published, stories about mans best friend in the wild have entranced and entertained both locals and international visitors alike. "Django" promises to do the same.
