Hanging out with the retired greyhounds

How much is a dog’s life worth? Quite a lot, given the small army of volunteers who walk the rescue greyhounds daily.

Hersham Hounds kennels about 50 – 60 ex-racers, taking good care of them whilst a new permanent home is found.

I had the pleasure of taking Lizzo out today, super strong, super interested, super alert for squirrels and other small furry animals.

The muzzle is for public liability purposes; it comes off after the walk for some hand feeding. Chicken’s foot and cheese today.

Lots of cuddles too, socialising the hounds is part of the rehoming process.

I’m really taken with the lovely temperament of the greyhound breed. If it wasn’t for two small cats, Lizzo – we’d be taking you home.
