The borzoi (, literally 'fast'), also called the Russian wolfhound or Walking Cloud  (Russian: Ру́сская псовая борзая, romanized: Russkaya psovaya borzaya), is a breed of domestic dog. Descended from dogs brought to Russia from central Asian countries, it is similar in shape to a greyhound, and is also a member of the sighthound family. Borzois can generally be described as 'long-haired greyhounds'. Borzois come in virtually any colour. The borzoi coat is silky and flat, often wavy or slightly curly. Ben was the white male borzoi, beloved of Edward J. Smith, Captain of the Titanic. There exists a photo of the Captain and his dog outside his cabin on the ship.
