August 2011: Henry–the greased lightening dog

Annie and Badri popped over with Henry, their greyhound that they have rescued. These greyhounds have a fairly short life and are destroyed quite mercilessly as soon as their track days are over. Very sad. If you look at his eyes, you will see what I mean. But very creditably, Annie and Badri have rescued one of these lovely animals. Anyway, I have been nagging Annie to bring him over so that I can fuss over the doggie. Here are some of the photographs of his visit to our house. Thankfully, it wasn't raining, so he got a chance to stretch his legs.

See the shape of his head, now that’s a barracuda in dog livery.

Very strong eyes

That pointy head and the slightly scared eyes..

And now feeling sleepy. Then we decided to take him to the green outside the house.

You can just see how amazingly fast he is

Then we went for a walk on the road.

Coming back.

Those eyes are piercing, this is a highly trained sports dog. Not a lap dog, you can make it out with the determined expression. Good stuff.
