Greyhound evangelists

It's funny, but it seems once people have greyhounds, they won't have another type of dog. (Of course there's always the problem of the one just not being enough).

There are also a lot of quiet greyhound evagelists around and in fact - as my husband has found - once you start talking about greyhounds, lots of people either own them, or have a yearning to.

We'll often stop and happily talk to complete strangers just because they have a hound or two in tow!

And the owners are a fount of knowledge - we'll have detailed chats about how far they like to walk, whether the dogs get on with cats, where they were rehomed from, and how they are just the right size and shape for a dog.

We've also become compulsive greyhound spotters... it's amazing how you usually see at least the one on every long ramble.
