This. Definitely this.
Sometimes, it really is all about the way you think of things. Positive thinking can lead to positive reactions. Would you want people to believe you were a bad person every time you had a rough day? Dogs go through turbulent times, just like humans. We owe them grace and patience, just like we hope others show us.

Please read and if you have any questions, just ask. Real information, from real people who work with the dogs, not those who lie to get people upset so they'll fork over money. Money that gets spent on huge salaries, and huge, fancy offices.
"Greyhounds are confined in cages 23 hours per day."
How silly. Greyhounds could not have the amazing athletic bodies they possess if that were, in fact, true.
This is Violator, an active professional racing greyhound. She'd like to dispute that confinement fallacy by demonstrating what she really does in her spare time. Truth is powerful.
So is Violator.

I started caring for animals when I was a kid. My parents expected me to be responsible for taking care of our family’s dogs and cats, once I was about 10 years old, and I’ve been caring for animals ever since. A local animal farm had ponies, ducks and chickens, and I curried coats, brushed out manes and tails, picked hooves, led pony rides, and fed/watered the birds. I also did pet sitting for a few neighbor’s animals (I was more comfortable with dogs and cats than babies and toddlers).
As an adult I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant, handling many different kinds of pets, from bunnies and birds, guinea pigs and ferrets, as well as cats and dogs. I spent many years learning about and working with various species of wildlife for educational programs, and took care of some very interesting creatures, including hawks, owls, raccoons, opossums, snakes, lizards, and turtles. I have volunteered at a therapeutic riding center, assisting children with various abilities in riding for physical and mental stimulation & enrichment, and with a greyhound rescue group, and right now I have 2 greyhounds (Merry & Puma), a terrier mix (Kaley), and a Chihuahua (Elliot), as well as 3 absolutely wonderful black cats, named Sarah, Alison, and Felix.
I love to read, and both fiction and non-fiction books about animals were my main focus as a kid. I read every story about dogs, horses, and wildlife I could find, and probably half of the books I read now are animal-related. I keep up with scientific advances in animal behavior and training methods, and conservation efforts around the world. Jane Goodall is one of my heroes, and I had the immense pleasure of meeting her (and getting a hug!) in the summer of 2001. I also like to learn about different aspects of history, from specific people and events, to changes in cultures through time. I also like to read mysteries (with historical backgrounds, or animals in them, of course!), listen to music, watch a few select tv programs and movies, and am interested in photography, to capture unique & special images in my world.
