It's been a while since I wrote a post on this blog because most of my posts have been placed on Lou's Gorgeous Greyhounds in recent months.

However, your work is only just beginning. A greyhound will have never lived in a home before so whilst he or she is usually house trained and will go outside to the toilet, other manners have to be taught. Molly was terribl...

The RSPCA in the UK is often accused of not doing enough to protect greyhounds but, trust me, they do as much as they possibly can. They take greyhounds in and pass them on to shelters that can nurse them back to health. They also do their utmost to find and prosecute the perpetrators of greyhound abuse as well. However.

When we think of cruelty to greyhounds and greyhound slaughter, we tend to think close to home. We think of the USA, UK and Europe. We may even look to the Middle East, but our focus should also be on Asia. No matter how bad we think the greyhound cruelty that goes one here is, I guarantee that it is ten times worse there. Our gorgeous greyhounds are brutally tortured in the most horrific ways before being murdered without a thought. There is no regulation in Asia at all. However, the Asian c... Read Full Story

Today is a special day, but for all of the wrong reasons as far as we and one particular beautiful greyhound is concerned. In fact, Friday 2nd May 2008 is four years to the day that Rusty died in the most horrific and brutal way.

He heard whimpering and went to investigate. The sight that met him was horrific and is a sight ... Read Full Story
