To be able to understand what your new greyhound is thinking and feeling will be like learning a new language. But what you will get is a loving companion and member of the family.

Apart from their athleticism and speed, owners love them for their sweet and calm personalities. Throughout this book with my personal knowledge, backed up with experience and research you will be taken on a journey on how to take care of your new Greyhound from day one, to the final moments where you will have a grateful, calm, old dog.
