My wife and I adopted a retired racing greyhound (by the way, they are the sweetest dogs) who had the track name of Dr. Jude. We aptly renamed him Jet. He passed away last Friday morning due to lung complications. It was terrible to see Jet in pain but he lived a great life. Greyhounds are such gentle and loving dogs and I don't think they deserve the treatment they get at the race tracks. Jet had clearly been roughly handled earlier in his life. Or he was just a big scaredy cat all the time.
This site is awesome and I am glad I found it!
