There she served as a blood donor for dogs undergoing surgery, or who had suffered blood loss from injury. The greyhound's blood is especially rich in the oxygen carrying red cells, and they are therefore well suited to this life-giving role. Here Gabby enjoys a cuddle from Jackson.
Greyhounds are affectionate, docile and gentle, and they live to please their family members.
They make wonderful companions and pets. Kennel workers and owners take their dogs out to be seen and visit with people in shopping centers and malls. These greys represent the many retired racers who have not yet found homes, and extend the adoption message to those who see them in public. They spend most of their time napping or resting, and have a talent for finding the most comfy place to settle down. Here we see Pettie on the soft couch at the computer, where she has assumed the cross-legged resting pose of a contented greyhound.
