Paul is learning how to be a dog, and clearly is happier than he's ever been thanks to this couple.
Yes it's such a relief when these babies get rescued.
❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗
@Kim Walter
Such a Good boy
Never seeing racing poor dogs again
I worked with a group of people in Post Falls Idaho when that horrible track was closed.
These dogs are so wonderful.
My first greyhound was from Idaho! She was lovely!
Congrats for contributing to the extinction of greyhounds!
@@youreaeejit511 next you gonna be sad for extinction of factory farmed animals or?
@eileensimpson, Greyhound racing in Idaho has been illegal for many, many years, so what you're talking about happened many, many years ago. How about living now and not in the past. Tracks are not horrible at all. If they were, greyhounds couldn't race on them. The tracks are groomed before each race to make them the safest place for the greyhounds to run.
@@momtoty have owned 2 separate greyhounds who were both rescues and lived long lives. Over the years my feelings on tracks and kennels have slowly changed. I have softened my feelings on them and in fact have seen how well some tracks have treated their dogs. I am now of the belief that most tracks try and do well for the dogs. I mean really they have to. I have seen some kennels even set up extremely nice living spaces for each of their dogs. My only concern now is the overbreeding of dogs because I believe that’s where some kennels get into trouble.
Greyhound racing is a very cruel sport because people in that business couldn't care less about the health and safety of these dogs. Thank God he found this goodhearted couple. Bravo!
If you've ever seen what these greyhounds go thru to be "trained to race" you'd cry tears of joy for Paul so glad he's able to experience love 👏🏿
I was looking for this comment, not sure exactly what greyhounds go thru & can’t watch it if it’s gets the best of me😢. I can only imagine it’s as similar to how dog fights & circus animals are treated.
@Eerie Sheena not like dog fighting but similar to circus animals. You could probably find out if you researched it but I wouldn't unless you live in an area where dog racing still happens. The more knowledge you have the better you can get it on your local voting ballot to get rid of it. It takes perseverance because these gambling companies have a lot of money to fight it. But never ever give up.
@@debbiescott6732
Funny how everything comes down to Money with some people,
@@susanfrancis5471 definitely
@itz1av3 What do greyhounds go through to learn how to race? What have you seen yourself? Greyhounds aren't forced to learn how to race. It's impossible. They just learn to chase after a toy and if they have no desire to chase, they get an early retirement and go home with their owner or go to an adoption group to get adopted. Nothing cruel ever happens to greyhounds. Cruelty won't produce a good racer. Quite the opposite. They get the best care and plenty of love. That's why they make such wonderful pets.
It's awesome to see him run because he wants to, not because he has to. This breed is quiet by nature, so to hear him howl, was amazing, and to see him relax and enjoy just being a dog, was great. Thank you for sharing his journey with us.❤❤❤
@melissamartin8266 He never had to race. He raced because he loved it. Greyhounds are never forced to race. It's impossible.
@BeepBoopBaap "...as long as they aren't abused", there's the rub.
@@Samsona75 Greyhounds aren't abused. Abused greyhounds can't race and isn't that what it's all about? That's like beating up a football player and the expecting him to play the game.
@@momtoty ...well, as a person who has a greyhound who was abused. I beg to differ. She was a terrible runner and was treated horribly. That's my reality.
@@Samsona75 How do you know she was treated horribly? Who told you? Her handler? Did you see how she was treated yourself? Or are you just ASSumng she was? Do you 100% proof from her handler? That is the ONLY person you should believe because her handler is the one that was with her 14 hours a day, 7 days a week until she was retired. You aren't stupid enough to believe abused greyhounds can race are you? It's not only impossible but it's against regulations. Did you ever reach out to talk to her handler? Greyhounds get the best care, better than a lot of adopted greyhounds do. I don't believe she was abused at all whether she was a bad racer or not. If she wasn't a good racer, the owner would retire her to an adoption group where you adopted her. The main purpose of racing greyhounds is to have them race their best so abusing them defeats the purpose. That's like beating up a football player and expecting him to play the game. Stupid isn't it? Well it's stupid to even think greyhounds are abused and expected to race their best.
It's always nice to see greyhounds featured on The Dodo. I've had greyhounds since adopting my first one in 2004, and they are absolutely wonderful, gentle, sensitive, and loving pets. They do require some extra patience in the beginning because literally everything is new to them: other breeds of dogs, stairs, windows, couches, etc. Paul's behavior was very normal. But, their real personality starts to emerge. We always like to say that you'll have a whole different dog a year later!
They learn very quickly and become precious family members. I have three greyhounds waiting at the bridge and one wonderful dog, Flashy, with me today. He's my whole world!
My wife and I adopted a retired racer in 2020 and it definitely took a lot of patience on our end and almost a year for her to get comfortable and really start showing her goofy personality. She's so smart and gentle. Everyone in my extended family that has met her loves her, even my grandma who hated most dogs but loved our grey.
Looks like a whole new world just opened up for Paul and he's totally living the life now. Thanks for saving and loving this beautiful champ! Bless y'all🤗
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING PAUL! A WONDERFUL STORY!!
you cant save a dog from a good situation!
@@youreaeejit511 How do you know it was a good situation, we don't know either way. I had a greyhound who was in a great situation and was super well adjusted. My current greyhound was horribly abused - this is obvious to anyone who'se met her.
@@bettynorton6791 He wasn't saved, he was retired and adopted.
Thank you for saving Paul and giving him the home he always deserves.
cant save him from a good previous life!
he loved his race career!
@lunkis3233 Paul wasn't saved, he was retired and adopted. He was never in any danger to be saved from.
@momtoty so the rescue who took in him didn't save him? I would say that is wrong who knows what would have happened to him?! So..
@@lunkis3233 the dog was willingly brought to the center. If there was no adoption center then the dog would go to a friend. Its illegal to kill greyhounds now after retirement. The industry and kennels want to know what your plans are with the dog when theyre finished. Theres transportation options to go to different countries for adoption as well.
My rescue greyhound passed away at the beginning of fall last year. This makes me smile through the tears. Thank you!
When my mom lived in Florida, when I went to visit her, her roommate adopted a greyhound and he was the best dog, he didn't leave my side the whole time I was there, he would wait outside the bathroom and cry.
We need more people to be like this in the world❤
@@goodnightmunchie ?
@@goodnightmunchie aaah old munchies here again hellllo maaate
There are a lot of people like this. I have adopted 8 retired greyhounds.
@@goodnightmunchie Hello misery bot. Always good for a laugh. [Not really when you think about it...😂]
My folks adopted a retired racer back in the 80's..... and we went through similar introductions to new things..... he really came out of his shell when they retired to the beach and he could run all he wanted...... and watch out for that tail.... it's like a whip when they are happy
This is a similar experience to most greyhound carers. Our first was like this, our second, older was totally cool with everyting. DO youyrself a favour and rescue one of these absolutely beautiful dogs. You will not regret it. Better yet, get two!
What a sweetheart he is. Thanks for giving him everything that he deserves.
We had a rescue Greyhound years ago when she was just fantastic. She got along with our dalmatian, and she was as sweet as can be.
They are all so sweet it is their human masters that are the problem. 🤬
@@marieslabbert6009 Hello, how are you doing today hope you're having a wonderful day 👋👋
What a sweet soul. It was awesome to see his zoomies and how much he came out of his shell. He is gorgeous.
I must admit I've ignorant to this. I thought that these dogs liked to race but I should have know that there were some awful people involved. I always liked at it like horse racing because I thought it was regulated. I guess I'm gonna have to do some research on both.
They do like to run, but they like to have families too.
@@carladavis1473 They ARE treated well, prob better than the family dog. A mistreated dog will not race well and hence no owner worth their salt will render mistreatment/cruel punishment
I actually cried seeing him change.....bless his heart ❤️ and people like his new family to teach him how to be an actual dog and not entertainment for people to bet on.
@Officer Dibble i figured, thanks for looking out
What a beautiful thing helping this Greyhound discover more to life than running in a circle. It's humans like the two of you that make the world a better place for Paul and the rest of us. Thank you!
it really isnt, its people like these who milk their dogs "sob story" that are going to contribute to the extinction to the greyhounds breed as we know it.
My Mom rescued a Greyhound too, Brindle, like Paul. Her name was Sadie!🙏💜🙏🥰🥰🥰❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
This is so cute! Seeing that the dog was happy, makes me happy! We need more people to help these animals by giving them patience and love. ❤
Yes 💯.
"help"? help from what? racing isnt abuse the dogs are treated better than any pet dog.
This story was our story. Our Sterling is now long gone, but lived to the happy age of 13. Thanks for sparking my memories and a few tears.
He’s really beautiful and blessed.
He's got the cutest big nose 😭😭 lol 🤣
You guys are awesome, so, are your dogs! 🤗🐈⬛🐈❤️
He's such a good boy hahahaha ❤️✨️
Our greyhound, Archer (his racing name was Jitterbug but, we thought it was-blehh) came from the same track. Luckily for him, he wasn't particularly good at his job so his owner surrendered him to Greyhound Pets of America. At first, we were just fostering him but we were really total failures as foster parents since we almost immediately decided to adopt him. When he first came off the track he wasn't especially fearful of really anything-he'd never really suffered any trauma from people, but he was not really well socialized, much like Paul. He also had incredible difficulty with stairs. Up, he could do. Down....next to impossible. We were lucky to live in the Charleston, SC area since there was a huge GPA presence there and we'd often have meet-ups at a local (fenced in) dog park. The most incredible thing to see is a dozen or so greyhounds doing 40 mph together, not confined to a track. Best of luck with Paul. Working with these dogs has been one of the most incredible and rewarding experiences I've ever had. It's wonderful to see him in such a kind and caring home.
Paul knows he has the Best Mommy and Daddy!
Such a sweet dog, bless u kind lady💕🙏
Happy baby now Thankyou so much for saving this baby 🐕 💘
Greyhounds are wonderful dogs. I've known several and they have all been incredibly gentle. Beautiful to see the unbridled joy.
Yes, take the time to be patient. Adventures and hikes, woof 🐾🤣
Yep, patience is a virtue.
Paul is so beautiful! I am happy to see that Paul has a harness instead of a collar at a point in the video! Harnesses are more humane than collars and harnesses don't put pressure on the neck like collars do. I recently found out from a reputable holistic veterinarian that dog ear infection could be due to neck injuries and as a matter of fact, sometimes health problems in the head and ears are related to neck injuries so I hope all dog parents can use harnesses instead of dog collars. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have a bicycle path/trail behind my home. It hurts my heart when I see people walking their dogs and jerking back on the leash. And so many do.
I always wish I could do the same to them 😠.
If you don't take the time to train a dog to listen to you, then at least have some compassion and put a harness on them instead of a just a collar.
@@sbffsbrarbrr Yes yes I fully agree! People do not need to read medical articles to know collars are bad and inhumane. Just the visual is enough to understand how inhumane it is to use a collar. Dogs are not slaves, they needed to be treated humanely. We do not “own” our dogs, we are their parents. If people do not use collars on their babies, why would they use collars on dogs?
I've had many dogs, but few as rewarding as my retired racer. Greyhounds are quirky clowns, they love people, sleep in the most ridiculous positions, & there is no joy like the joy of a happy grey. Watching them run & explore their new world is inspirational.
Living the life, enjoying the life and be alive. He's gorgeous.
This was wonderful ... we are on our 5th adoption of retired racing Greyhounds and they are magical. Beautiful, strong, loving and affectionate canines ... we have a fenced half acre and they have a doggie door so they can go out whenever they want. They are loving life and we are loving them.
That's beautiful. These babies deserve so much happiness in retirement. You're good people. God bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌
I had to cry seeing him do the Zoomies ! I always wanted to rescue a Greyhound but it never came to be - this is beautiful !!💜🤎
🐕😚 soyez heureux
*THERE MUST BE A SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR THOSE WHO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED. GOD BLESS YOU !!!*

Hey, how's it going so far today hope you're having a wonderful day 👋👋 wish I could be like Paul
Paul reminds me of a greyhound I once bought from a racetrack. Thanks for sharing.
You guys are a blessing. I pray 🙏 that you keep him.
What a beautiful story!!! Thank you for rescuing him.
So great to see all those greyhounds get adopted and loved. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
The sweetest, smartest, most loving dog I ever had was a "recycled racer." Her name was Grace. I had her for 10 beautiful years and she never barked once. While racing, they live in crates stacked high atop each other with ramps, so they have never used stairs. They have never had a toy. They are let out of their crates to pee on the "caretakers'" time schedule, so are not housebroken when you adopt, but they are wicked smart and learn very fast! They eat from huge community troughs so have never had their own food or water dish. It broke my heart. Her only goal in the last years of her life was to make me happy. I hope I made her just as happy. I miss her every day.
🙏🙋♀️🌹Yes!!! Love Sοο much this beautiful Doggy!!!!Dog's Are The Best Friends,Dog's have pure Soul and feeling Are Soo much better for Some people!!!!!🙏🙏🙌🐕❤❣❤❣❤❣❤❣❤❣❤❣❤🤗🤗🌹🌹👏👏🙋♀️🇬🇷🇩🇪

I can't tell you 2 angels on this earth, how immensely beautiful this is!!!! I love him! And both of you for being patient and courageous!!! This is the most loving act to a race "dog". 😇🥰😘
@Officer Dibble I already did. Thanks for the heads up! Appreciate it!
Good that Paul has found a loving family. Don't abandon Paul when he gets older or fall sick. Love him truly.
Thank you for rescuing Paul & being his 👼❤️
Hi dear, adorable smile you got there and I love it. What’s your name if i may ask?
As it should be. Thank you and God bless
Thank you So much Elizabeth and Holden 🙏🏾God Bless you both Paul is gorgeous ! Appreciate you both for saving this highly abused breed Love you all ❤🙏🏾
GO PAUL!!!! So cute!
Thank you for adopting Paul and giving him the love, patience, safety, and security that he so deserves! 😊💖🙏
I cant stop smiling
I'm so.glad he's with a loving family ❤️
Him standing around his friends with that dog jacket was so cute
My friend rescued a greyhound and she has gone through a similar journey. It's so lovely to see them run, just like they should, as a dog! Not as a driven animal for human sport. Paul is gorgeous 💛💛
@tmm5115 Greyhounds aren't driven to race. Paul raced because he loved to chase. You can't force a greyhound to race around track. Just how would you force them to chase a lure? If they have no prey drive to chase, they aren't forced to. That's impossible. Greyhounds race because they love it, they love the chase.
This story broke my heart...and then mended it. Paul looks so happy now. I'm grateful that he has a great home with lots of love.
my sister had 2 rescue greyhounds. both brindle like paul. lovely dogs. still miss em
Paul is an absolute legend in his winter wear, keep on learning how to dog my friend 😍
If humans stop supporting racing, there will be less dogs traumatized like Paul ❤️🩹
only one state in the US has racing, almost over
Greyhound racing is extremely regulated, the dogs are well taken care of (they have to be to build that muscle mass), and don't suffer like other animals in other sports (like horse racing) typically do. They aren't inherently traumatized by the racing environment (which again, is actually adequate for their needs if you bother to look into it), but going from one very unique environment to a new one will be a process to feel comfortable for any dog. The dogs aren't forced to run.
@belindarocky961 Paul was never traumatized. He just needed time to adjust to his new life. He was always treated very well and loved by his handler. He was used to his life at a kennel and was surrounded by people and greyhounds every day. Then he was suddenly taken away from the life he loved and put in a home with strangers. He had to learn stairs and a whole new schedule. Once he learned his new routine, he was contented to be a house dog. It had nothing to do with his racing career.
@@momtoty But in another comment you said these dogs get taken home and are not put in such kennel environments?? If they had so much affection they would be comfortable with strangers?
@@momtoty Also those are signs of trauma. All of his behaviors. The unknown is dangerous when you have ptsd. But when you dont its fun to be curious and explore.
Thank you so much for saving this sweet guy. God bless you and Pauly. Much happiness to you all. You go Pauly!!
Oh my gosh, BLESS YOU ALL FOR ADOPTING HIM. It took him time because he didn't know any other life, so I understand why it was awhile till he felt comfortable. You both did a beautiful job of making him feel safe. He is so beautiful and so great to see him so so happy because of you both. 🥰💚💙💜
@Officer Dibble yes I know I have been getting alot of them especially on The Asher Houes. Thank you
@Officer Dibble DEFINITELY!!
Greyhounds really are the best companions. So gentle and calm, don’t need lots of exercise, always wanting to be snuggled on the sofa. Anyone reading this, please advocate for the breed and shout about adopting a Greyhound!
Aww so happy for Paul. He has the best life now. Thank you dear people for taking him and being so patient with him and teaching him to be a dog again. Beautiful story. I am so happy for all of you.
theres no right way to be a dog. He was a sport and working dog before this ofc he needs an ajustmant period he wasnt "abused"
@BeepBoopBaap Exactly, dogs need a job or a sport to do to have a good life. I have 4 of my own dogs all of different sizes and each one has a purpose.
Im a firm believer that all dogs regardless of breed or size should have something to do.
Awesome
Thank you for rescuing a retired racing greyhound! The whole world is new to them. They spend their entire life in a cage except when they race and maybe get outside to potty. They don't know how to be a dog. So glad you took your time and went at his pace. I'm glad he's so happy now. They are just big couch potatoes. I'm so happy he's a happy dog now. If any dogs deserve to be rescued, it's retired greyhounds. Happy life. Paul! You deserve it.
Simple music 🎶🎶🎵 can make you sing, a simple hug 🫂🫂can make you feel 🤩better, simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple hello will make you smile 🥰💃🏼😇😇😇😇😇
WE ♥️PAUL❗
So wonderful to see him realize he is safe and loved ❤️
Absolutely wonderful to see the transformation to a happy boy.. thats how it should always be.. I told a friend to rescue one hes not an animal guy, he now has 5 and they are all spoiled like they deserve and hes now an animal guy.. love this and thankyou for being so patient with paul..💛💛💛💛💛
This greyhound was retired and rehomed, not rescued. Racing greyhounds have a great life. To those that doubt that racing greyhounds have a great life, go to a racing kennel and the races and see for yourself how good greyhounds have it. As for running around in large yards or fields, that is how he would have been reared.
I took in a racing whippet who was abandonned after a break in his leg. He was left behind after a race meeting, no longer of any value to the owner. Not saying all owners do this, but it dies happen. We called him Silky. He was a beautiful mink colour and fell in love with our black Labrador Bessie. They were great pals. Just saying.....
Racing industry propaganda.
So good to see the transformation. Paul got the family he wanted and needed. Perfect!
From terrified to filled with love and joy. You folks are heroes.
I love how he sleeps. What a sweet dog thank you for introducing him to a better life. ❤️❤️❤️🐕🐕🐾🐾
It's such an amazing experience watching these little dudes turn from strangers to family. Dogs and humans were meant for each other.
Thank you!♥️🐕
Paul's zoomies are precious! His tail swinging around is too cute!
Saving animals is such great thing, keep it up
Yay Paul!!! I feel like he’s literally an underdog 😊and I was cheering so hard for him!!!
Look into the dark side of greyhound racing to better understand their lack of social skills, over-
whelming fears of the "outside world", and why tracks are being shut down around the country.
Thanks to people like these folks for rescuing these gentle souls today, but thanks must also go
out to PETA for getting the wheels turning in the right direction several years ago.
What a sweet and smiley dog Paul is! I love him! 🥰
My friend adopted a retired greyhound that they were going to euthanize. It's such a shame these beautiful dogs have to be trained to be a dog, but it's so worth it. Lots of love and patience.
That's so cute 🥰🥰 how's your day going so far.....
You are so right patience and kindness and love 👍🐶💙🙏
This makes you smile...... he came a long way with some genuine love!
Sometimes when I get a little down, I watch something like this. You folks are doing the Lords work. Thanks for posting.
Cute ❤️❤️❤️
I am so glad he got a wonderful forever family about treating him like Prince he is . and show him that people in the world can be a good. Is.i he has a whole bunch of more fun adventures
Greyhounds are the sweetest dogs!!! We love ours!! ❤
Way to go Paul!!
Merci Paul et Élisabeth pour Holden et pour votre patience, vous êtes de très bonnes et généreuses personnes, merci. 🙏
His whole face just changes😁
It's beautiful to see a Greyhound running because he wants to, rather then because he has to
@doodles3075 He never had to race. You can't force greyhounds to race. He raced because he loved it.
@tommorrison1960 Comparing slaves to greyhounds is so stupid. The slaves were forced to work, or they got punished or killed. Greyhounds are never forced to race. It's impossible to force them to chase if they have no interest. They do it because it's a fun game to them. Try using common sense instead of being so stupid.
Bless you both for giving Paul a fantastic home and so much love. I've lived in Florida since 1980. And when I moved here and saw they had greyhound racing I was appalled. It took years of voting but we finally got greyhound racing shut down. My favorite part was when Paul found his voice and did his precious howls, so frigging adorable. ❤️👍
Hi there
He is just one big goofball now with a caring family 👍👍🤣🤣
He's beautiful!! I'm happy he found his forever home!! ❤
I can watch him do zoomies all day! Just melts my heart ❤️ 💙 💜!
He’s lovely. Have many happy years with him.
Thank you for rescuing these much abused dogs. Bless you.
Those ears! The musical howling. Paul is so adorable. Thank you for saving him and giving him a family who appreciates this fine canine.
The sweetest boy! Thank you for giving him a wonderful life!❤
Get him a shirt that fits! My goodness!
Beautiful boy Paul has a wonderful family. I wish this life for every ex-racer.
