With all the greyhound adoption stuff going around I would like to remind everyone that greyhounds aren’t necessarily “easy” “dogs”

Like they can certainly be a great first time dog if you understand them, but greyhounds aren’t the same as, say, a retriever

They’re sensitive and their body language is weird and their peak performance looks different than a lot of other dogs (they have a tendency to look malnourished to non-greyhound people bc of their deep chest, high tuck, lean muscle and dolichocephaly)

So what I’m saying is if you want to adopt a greyhound that’s amazing!! But please please please take the time to research them and their needs properly before you do, and make sure you aren’t accidentally spreading misinformation

Enjoying the fact that “dogs” is in quotations as if they are not mere beasts but otherworldly
