Hi & welcome. Our neighbour rescued a lovely greyhound called Boofy whose feet were not strong enough for racing. So Boofy became a pet. I'd never met a greyhound as a pet before...but within days, Boofy was much loved by all in the neighbourhood. He had the loveliest soft, brown eyes & was so sweet & affectionate. Sadly, when he was being desexed, he died from the anaesthetic. We all missed him terribly. His owner was shattered.
But he will be getting another greyhound from the Greyhound Rescue .
Greyhounds make wonderful pets...there are a couple who are live-in therapy dogs in homes for aged people. They are so gentle & the elderly people don't have to bend down to them because they're nice & tall.
In Australian slang, a greyhound is called a 'Dishlicker'...so if any Aussie says they own a 'Dishlicker', it means they own a greyhound.
