Almost all Greyhounds, in my area, are rescued from US and Mexican racing tracks, this one is no exception. She must have been injured because she had a slight limp.

Once, I tried to adopt a greyhound from the local greyhound rescue. I was denied because I was not good enough! The two ladies that interviewed us where shocked and outraged that I wouldn’t let the dog …

Henry is a French Bulldog. He’s small, short, compact and pretty heavy, for a French Bulldog, at 38 pounds/17 kilos.

This dog was running after the ball at Hadden Park, Vancouver, British Columbia. Not only he had to catch it, he also had to brake to turn around before the pit and go back to the person that threw the ball.

BTW, as you can see I’m slightly below the dog. There’s a gras field, the dog …

His name is “Max” but his nickname is “The Killer”. He lives in the city jungle and he is both a killer (big time) and a survivor.

Max, the killer: his little bell is for the birds, so they can hear him. Even with the bell, he’s had plenty of successes. He kills birds, especially Chickadees, and often he will bring the dead birds home. His …
