We met Sadie as a 10½ year old greyhound bitch, who had been used by evil men training their fighting dogs. We wanted to give her a good ‘last home’; of course we wondered whether her injuries, and experiences, would let her have a long life. In fact she lived with us for 3½ years altogether, a tough, but graceful, old bird, who would chatter her teeth with pleasure when you scratched her head. Her passing makes us sad, but grateful that we could give her those last few years of love and comfort.
