Tafara
“Climbed every hill with us.”
2011 – 2024 · Dog · Africanis · Cape Town, South Africa
Tafara walked the mountain paths above the city until his last year, always fifty paces ahead and looking back to check on us.
Their kind
The Africanis is a landrace dog from Southern Africa, known for its adaptability and hardiness. These independent dogs often serve as village guardians and companions, possessing a lean, athletic build well-suited to their environment.
