And how they are then given 8 races to prove that they have the speed necessary to make them a "contender." And how if they don't make the cut, instead of killing them like they used to do, now almost 80% of Greyhounds get rescued by groups like the GPA. I always knew that racing horses and Greyhounds was wrong and hearing more of the details on how wrong it is was really life-changing. I am so grateful for the work you do each year on this calendar to raise money for the GPA. My only knowledge of the physical presence of Greyhounds was through your photos and now that I've met several in person, I appreciate even more how your shots reflect their grandness, gentleness and "dogness." Thank you for the wonderful Grand Opening party. Your studio is beautiful and I know that many great photos will come from there.
