I owned a Whippet, a small greyhound, "my" Dear 13 kg Meggy. She died at the end of last June, by accident, and my heart will bleed for life. She was just adorable.

They have such adoring and expressive eyes I melt every time I see one.. I always wish to have one.. But I do not have the money to adopt one! All my life I have wish for Greyhound not to be treated the way they are use for but for companions.. Their eyes are so expressive the first time I saw one when I was 11 years old and I fell in love with them.. I' am old now ( over 60) yet if I could have one I will give him/her all the love and care they deserve!

My greyhound jumps in bed with me and he pushes hard against me. So I have tears in my eyes, "he loves me so much." When in reality he is just trying to push me off the bed.

You will never go wrong with a Greyhound

[davidedwards]

Every part of this is true.
But...when I got my hound, he would not stay under a sheet for more than a minute. NOW, however, he will come to bed, expect to get INTO the bed with me, under the blankets, and he will stay there all night..

I adopted a greyhound last year and I am soooo happy...best decission ever

[LAJ-FC]

As a relative of a greyhound owner, I can absolutely confirm the veracity of these facts.

My sister used to adopt from the racetrack in Melbourne, Florida. She had a few over the course of about 20 years. The last one she had was named Leo...but I called him Doody because when he would go outside to tend to business, he would never choose one spot. He would drop a bit here and drop a bit there...anywhere from three to five or six spots. Lol! I miss Doody. He had the most splendid nose I have ever beheld! The Masters painted such splendid noses! My sister now lives in an apartment and it's not suitable for a pair of hounds...gotta have more than one! Three or four is ideal....but anyway, she looks forward to the day she can go back to the agency and meet foster families and take home the unwitting little creatures that will be petted and spoiled so bad they'll stink!
