In a perfect world, every dog would have a home and every home would have a dog. Sadly, for years the Greyhound has been a breed used mostly for racing and profit, and not as pets. Their lean and narrow stature is perfectly constructed for high-speed pursuit.
Greyhounds are the fastest dogs on earth, reaching speeds of up to 45 miles per hour. They are also known for their grace, and sweet, mild nature and with the proper exercise can make the ideal family companion.
Here, we pay tribute to the well-cared for and properly loved Greyhounds on Instagram.
