My mom dog her dog from the Humane Society last Thursday. He's a big sweety. 5 years old, and the HS said he's Saluki mix(what do you guys think?? how do you pronounce that anyway?) She named him Riley.
My mom is having trouble getting him to eat. He's barely eaten any dog food. He apparently has no trouble eating people food, but she'd rather him get into the habit of eating his own food. Any ideas? She's getting concerned and he was really skinny to begin with. Should she feed him something he'll eat until he finds some dog food he likes? What about canned food?
Also, he either isn't interested in toys, or he doesn't understand how to play with them yet. If you throw the toy, he'll chase it, pick it up, then drop it. Or when I was playing tug with Zeke the other day Riley seemed interested, put his mouth on the rope then immediately dropped it.
He's a great dog though. He seems really agile. I think he'd make an excellent agility dog. I may take him myself (maybe with Zeke if you can run 2 dogs in one class) Apparently he loves to dig though...and bury bones in moms garden

Anyway, onto the pics.
As you can see, he is skin and bones. Is that the breed or is he just really underweight?
Playing with my boy, Zeke.
