THERE ARE TWO BREEDS, WHIPPET AND THE ITALIAN GREYHOUNDS
THE ITALIAN AND GRAY GREYHOUNDS ARE RACING DOGS
WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER DOG IS THEIR SLIM SLEEK BODY AND LONG LEGS
SO THE GREYHOUND DOG IS BUILT TO RUN
IN FACT, THEY ARE CAPABLE IN RUNNING 60 MILES PER HOUR
WE AS HUMANS HAVING ONLY TWO LEGS ARE LUCKY WE CAN MOVE ONE MILE
BUT BACK TO THE GREYHOUND DOG
IT’S ABOUT A RACE
DUST FLYING ALL OVER WITH THE MANUEVERING TRACE
JUST LIKE A HORSE RACE, PEOPLE WAGER THEIR BETS
ALSO LIKE RACE HORSES, THERE ARE MANY GREYHOUND DOGS TO CHOSE ALL WITH IDENTIFICATION NAMES
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE RACE AND AFTER NOW THAT REMAINS
THE GREYHOUND DOG LEGS MOVE SWIFTLY IN PRECISION
THEY CLASSIFIED BY DIVISION
RULES THAT GOVERN ARE PREVISIONS
BUT THE GREYHOUND DOGS HAVE KEEN VISION
SOME PEOPLE ADOPT AS PETS
BUT ANY GREYHOUND DOG IS A WINNER REGARDLESS OF LOSING RACE REGRETS
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY WITNESS A GREYHOUND DOG RACE AT THE GREYHOUND PARK IN DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA
AS I WAS WATCHING, MY GREYHOUND DOG WON, BUT I DIDN’T PLACE A BET
NOW THAT WAS MY ONLY REGRET
THE GREHOUND DOG IS ABOUT SPEED
THEIR OFF, THE SHOOTING GUN IN THE AIR AND ELECTRONIC RABBIT TO PROCEED
READY, SET AND GO
THIS NARRATOR EDUCATED YOU IN BEING IN THE KNOW.
