Hello, Slick! You look very nice in your colorful jacket! It looks great with your black and white coat colors! You had success in your racing career, and then you were a successful representative and got to be in a LOT of pictures in support of your cause, too! I hope you have a wonderful day of going for a walk, being served some delicious food, and maybe leaning on your people Could you please have your people give you some gentle petting for you, and maybe big hug or two - because I love greyhounds! Happy Dog of the Day to you, beautiful Slick!

p.s., edited to ask, I see some paws beside you in the picture of you wearing your colorful jacket -- do you have a sibling? I am sending extra petting and hugs for your sibling too, I am not sure if it is a dog or cat.

Hello! Slicks Dad here! Thanks for all the lovely comments to Slick, I really enjoyed reading them. Couple of things though, I'm a 26 yearold male, the equality march was in support of common sense and human rights, not for myself. =)

The paws in the background of all the photos are of the girlfriends little Pomeranian X Chihuahua, Tank. He's a character, I should get around to submitting a DOTD for him...

Slick is my first foire into the breed. He was a snap decision rescue after the passing of my first dog, a Norfolk Terrier. I needed a dog, but not one to be compared to him. Greyhound is pretty opposite of the spectrum! Subsequently fell in love with the breed for all their amazing qualities. I actually adopted another ex racer a year later. She was my sweetheart, hands down the sweetest dog I've ever met. Off lead, would walk beside me, didn't care about rabbits or kitties, just wanted to be next to me. She passed from sudden disease last november. I considered submitting my DOTD for her, but Slick is my boy. He's still here and deserves the spotlight =)

I had a third greyhound for a couple of months at one stage, a stray I found wondering my neighbourhood. No tags, no collar, no chip. I took her in, but she just didn't ultimately fit in, so she was given to another loving home.

I made a video of my dogs not too long ago, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I watch it often and it always makes me smile =)
