My father and his colleagues were subjected to the incessant noise caused by such a desert dog pup that had been adopted by an Officer in Aden in WWII. The officer initially had kept it in his own block but was told to get rid of it because it howled all night long. He then tied in in the stairwell of the airmens' accommodation.
Unfortunately it suffered a tragic accident. A fire extinguisher fell on it from the top floor in the middle of the night.
