I felt compelled to write about the Greyhound today. A very kind lady and also a neighbor, died recently. She was strong supporter of the Greyhound rescue and had a beautiful rescued dog of her own until he died, not too long before she became ill. This post is in her honor.
The Greyhound is an elegant dog with high intelligence. He makes an excellent companion dog, both loyal, very loving and gentle.
This ancient breed has been immortalized in murals dating back thousands of years, where their likenesses have been found decorating the walls of caves.
The Egyptians revered the Greyhound and often his images have seen in the tombs of kings.
It's been said they dwelt in the court of Cleopatra, where they were revered for their coursing skills.
Sadly, in my opinion, because of their incredible speed, they have also been exploited and abused by the racing industry.
