Question: What type of dog appeard in Good-bye, My Lady.
Context: The Basenji is a breed of hunting dog.  It was bred from stock that originated in central Africa.  Most of the major kennel clubs in the English-speaking world place the breed in the Hound Group—more specifically, in the sighthound type.  The Fédération Cynologique Internationale places the breed in group five, spitz and primitive types, and the United Kennel Club (US) places the breed in the Sighthound & Pariah Group. The collie is a distinctive type of herding dog, including many related landraces and standardised breeds.  The type originated in Scotland and Northern England.  The collie is a medium-sized, fairly lightly built dog, with a pointed snout.  Many types have a distinctive white pattern over the shoulders.  Collies are very active and agile, and most types of collies have a very strong herding instinct.  Collie breeds have spread through many parts of the world (especially Australia and North America) and have diversified into many varieties, sometimes with mixture from other dog types.  Some collie breeds have remained as working dogs, used for herding cattle, sheep and other livestock, while others are kept as pets, show dogs or for dog sports, in which they display great agility, stamina and trainability.  While the AKC has a breed they call "Collie", in fact collie dogs are a distinctive type of herding dog including many related landraces and formal breeds.  There are usually major distinctions between show dogs and those bred for herding trials or dog sports.  They typically display great agility, stamina and trainability and more importantly sagacity. Breed type in the parlance of dog fanciers refers to the qualities that define a dog breed and separate it from all other dog breeds.  "Breed type" is outlined in the written standard for each breed, and "breed type" is the basis of judging in conformation dog shows. Toy dog traditionally refers to a very small dog or a grouping of small and very small breeds of dog.  A toy dog may be of any of various dog types. Types of dogs referred to as toy dogs may include Spaniels, Pinschers and Terriers that have been bred down in size.  Not all toy dogs are lapdogs, although that is an important and ancient type of toy dog.  The very smallest toy dogs are sometimes called "teacup" size, although no major dog registry recognizes that term. The Braques français are hunting dogs, from a very old type of gun dog used for pointing the location of game birds for a hunter.  There are two breeds of Braque français, both from the south of France, the Braque français, type Gascogne (French Pointing Dog - Gascogne type, larger size) and the Braque français, type Pyrénées (French Pointing Dog - Pyrenean type, smaller size) They are popular hunting dogs in France, but are seldom seen elsewhere. The Turnspit dog was a short-legged, long-bodied dog bred to run on a wheel, called a turnspit or dog wheel, to turn meat.  The type is now extinct.  It is mentioned in "Of English Dogs" in 1576 under the name "Turnespete".  William Bingley's "Memoirs of British Quadrupeds" (1809) also talks of a dog employed to help chefs and cooks.  It is also known as the Kitchen Dog, the Cooking Dog, the Underdog and the "Vernepator".  In Linnaeus's 18th century classification of dogs it is listed as "Canis vertigus".  The breed was lost since it was considered to be such a lowly and common dog that no record was effectively kept of it.  Some sources consider the Turnspit a kind of Glen of Imaal Terrier, others make it a relative of the Welsh Corgi. Good-bye, My Lady is a novel by James H. Street about a boy and his dog.  It was published by J. B. Lippincott Company in June 1954 and reprinted in paperback by Pocket Books in February 1978.  It is based on Street's short story "Weep No More, My Lady", which was published in the 6 December 1941 issue of "The Saturday Evening Post". Doug Howard (born May 2, 1956) is an American bassist, vocalist and songwriter.  He is best known for his work as a performing/recording musician and occasional co-writer with groups, and artists such as Touch, Stun Leer, Todd Rundgren, Utopia and The Edgar Winter Group.  He also played the role as the singing narrator "Songster" in the 1987 live production of the Masters of the Universe Power Tour based upon the Mattel He-Man series action figures.  Howard is also the managing partner of Lodestar Entertainment, LLC, a music and video licensing, and publishing company based in New York.  He is the paternal grandson of the American songwriter Joseph E. Howard, composer of "Hello!  Ma Baby," "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now" and "Good-bye My Lady Love," among other titles. The Japanese Spitz (日本スピッツ , Nihon Supittsu ) is a small to medium breed of dog of the Spitz type.  The Japanese Spitz is a companion dog and pet.  There are varying standards around the world as to the ideal size of the breed, but they are always larger than their smaller cousins, the Pomeranian.  They were developed in Japan in the 1920s and 1930s by breeding a number of other Spitz type dog breeds together.  They are recognized by the vast majority of the major kennel clubs, except the American Kennel Club due to it being similar appearance to the white Pomeranian dog, American Eskimo Dog and Samoyed Dog.  While they are a relatively new breed, they are becoming widely popular due to their favorable temperament and other features. Good-bye, My Lady is a 1956 American film adaptation of the novel "Good-bye, My Lady" (1954) by James H. Street.  The book had been inspired by Street's original 1941 story which appeared in "The Saturday Evening Post".  Street was going to be the principal advisor on the film when he suddenly died of a heart attack.  A boy learns what it means to be a man by befriending and training a stray Basenji dog and then is forced to surrender her to its rightful owner.  Both readers of the story and film-goers found the boy's eventual loss of the dog unexpected.
