One day after work last week, I took Chicky out for her pre-dinner walk (as usual). On our way back home I was waiting at a fairly busy "T" intersection to cross the street to return back into my condo complex. A city bus was chugging along, slowed down to make a right hand turn when I noticed the female bus driver smiling at me. She stopped the bus & waved me on to cross the street. When I got nearer to the bus she started talking to me through her window on how she has seen me walking my greyhound so many times and that she reminded her so much of her beloved grey that she lost 2 years ago to cancer. She said the markings on Chicky were identical to her grey (except her grey had a full tail). So we're chatting away when all of a sudden horns are honking and we realized that we had completely blocked the intersection! But I managed to get one last message to her that GRA has many more lovely dogs just waiting to find a forever retirement home.

What a great little story. Maybe we'll see her at the picnic.

Oh I agree with winbo. And now the bus driver knows where she can find that special hound.

that's an awesome story! I've personally told so many people about GRA I am sure at least 1 or 2 dogs must have been adopted because of this since I've had Holstein He's a very good ambassador for GRA because he's personable and loves to stand around being petted and loved, so I have lots of time to tell the humans about GRA and what I've learned about greyhounds. I';ve had cars slow down and people holler stuff like nice dog, or what is that?? One lady said she had two Italian greys and couldn't believe how large Holstein was...lots of tales to tell
