Dog Song Saturday: End Greyhound Dog Racing

It's Saturday, so time for a dog song at Talking Dogs.  Kick your weekend off with some thoughts about advocacy with Miami by Nancy SimmondsMiami tells the story of a retired racing Greyhound who was rescued and urges you to join with GREY2K USA to end Greyhound racing in America. 

GREY2K USA is the largest greyhound protection organization in the US.  They work to pass stronger greyhound protection laws and to end the cruelty of dog racing on both national and international levels.  They also promote the rescue, rehoming and adoption of greyhounds worldwide.

Miami is from Nancy Simmonds 3rd Litter Musical Tails release and available on iTunes and Amazon for download.   

Don't worry, the video that accompanies this lyrical dog song is filled with lovely footage of two beautiful Greyhound dogs enjoying life off the racetrack and in their forever homes

Grab a dog, a Greyhound if you're lucky enough to have one.  Sit. Stay. Relax and enjoy Miami by Nancy Simmonds.  Fetch more dog song videos at Talking Dogs and be sure to scroll down below today's song to explore some barking good dog blogs, because today is a Pet Blogger Hop.

  2. Our son-in-laws parents adopted a 'retired' greyhound. What a lovely do he is so quiet and well-behaved.

    I don't think I would mind the racing so much as long as the dogs were treated humanely and lived life like a dog should.

  3. Beautiful tribute to a beautiful dog! Greyhounds look so much better running around a yard than a racetrack!

  4. Hey Lucy, Hey Tucker, Hey Jeffie, Hey Rudy, Jet here.

    Greyhound rescue was the first group Mom learned about in the rescue world... I think they have provided the model for so many other rescue groups. Thank goodness Miami ended up in a proper furever family. Special video...

  5. We need to become more enlightened and stop working animals to death for human entertainment.
