We who want humans to stop using sentient nonhumans have few victories to celebrate. But one area that continues to provide them is the fight against the use of greyhounds as a source of entertainment (and gambling revenue) by forcing them to race. Here are a couple recent bits of good news. Some get adopted into great homes.

When I saw the Live Science article about dogs being as smart as 2-year-old kids I knew that if there were any talk of ranking, my beloved greyhounds would be at the less-desirable end of the list (not from personal experience, but from reputation), and I also knew that there would be a whiff of speciesism. That last part is interesting.

Like humans, dogs also need special clothing during cold seasons because they too get uncomfortably cold during harsh weather. It’s a good thing that there are a wide variety of dog coats to choose from that come in different styles and features for all of your dog needs.

Breeds with very short fur like Chihuahuas, boxers and greyhounds may have a hard time keeping warm, making even brief walks uncomfortable. Like human feet, if they are much colder than normal, your pet may be uncomfortable. Not all dogs were born with lush fur coats that keep off the winter chill. Keep Them Close.
