In the fall of 2009, Korryn and I adopted a former racing greyhound through Steel City Greyhounds. Although I was never really a dog person, I've found greyhounds to be truly amazing pets. Despite being "working dogs" that generally get very little human attention, greyhounds tend to be friendly and relaxed around people, even children. I would really encourage anyone considering a dog to adopt one.

You can find more information about adopting a greyhound at Steel City Greyhound's website and at The Greyhound Project.
