- We are so happy we adopted this greyhound, when we heard the story about greyhounds from racing that they are killed if they dont want to race anymore so our choice was clear which dog we are gonna take... please, save greyhounds! :)
Thank you for saving Bolt, what a handsome guy. Thanks for sharing.
Bolt seems to be very happy in his new digs
The first day I brought my beloved Gumball home, she sniffed around my small apartment, came back to me (I was sitting on the floor) and put her muzzle right on my lips. She told me this was going to be a great new home.
Greyhound are simply amazing 😉
They're affectionate, intelligent way beyond any other dog, loving, loyal and such gentle members of the family. I wouldn't be without my boy!
Life with him is amazing!
Pure breed - so pure their blood type is compatible with every other breed.
Worlds oldest breed, way beyond a "pedigree".
It's quite natural for him to want to sleep in your bed, dogs are by nature pack animals and they do this because of your scent it comforts them. If you leave them for any length of time it's a good idea to give them a piece of clothes with your scent on it, when you return guarantee he'll be sleeping on it. so glad you did this wonderful of you.
They are a beautiful soul on 4 legs... could not imagine a life without a greyhound..... love my family and it includes my little baby in the video... he is 8 years old now
I've done the same with my 2 greyhounds.I took them from Ireland to my home in Italy.They are so sweet and so smart ,they 're adorable.You guys are great!I wish you the best !Love from Torino Italy :)
Ciao, mi è piaciuto tanto il tuo commento. Sto aspettando la visita pre affidataria per una Greyhound che verrà dell'Irlanda tra poco. Sono agitatissima perchè spero che si trovi bene con noi. Ma ho una Yorkshire e mi preoccupa che possa vederla come preda... Spero tutto vada bene
He is so beautiful! We adopted our first grey this past Sunday! A little fawn brindle girl named Rainy. Her racing name was XJT Rain On Me. She just came off the track 3 weeks ago from Daytona Beach. She is as sweet as the day is long and we are in love.
I love seeing comments like yours, Nancy! Hope it’s going GREYT; they are sugar-sweet, aren’t they?
🍭❤️🐶❤️🍭
Yes they are! She is so gentle and sweet with everyone she meets! I cannot wait for this virus thing to be over so I can take her across the street to visit the folks in the nursing home. I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy. Cheers!
Adorable. I assume she thinks of it as the “people waiting to adore me” home 😍😍🐶😍😍
Greyhound Homecare she sure does! We will walk past and she can see some of the folks waving at her from their windows and she stands there wagging her tail. Cannot wait for the real visits tho!
For racing dogs it's amazing how easily they find the most comfortable place in the house and assume control.
How do you know that original owner didn’t treat him well and allow him in the house up on the bed and couch? You cannot make such assumptions without knowing the facts. I know of a racing grey who slept in the owner’s bed and came straight home and tucked herself in the owners bed. She ran third on her maiden race, and not good on her 2nd race and seemed to know it and went home straight to the human’s bed, of her own accord, looking very sad. She was very deeply loved and was bought over by her human owner from the breeder at a very young age for the love of her
Bolt is beautiful! So happy he's happy in a loving home! I hope and wish all greyhounds get their happy ending ❤
And you gave him love....thank you.
Greyhounds are great !
I have 5 IGs. One male is a Champion and then when he was 12 he won the Senior Sweepsteaks. I cannot imagine my life without these exquisite beauties. I plan to retire soon and will move to a house out in the country and have room for more dogs there. I would love a greyhound and saluki . The music, you used is Enya I believe. She is my favorite and I have all her albums.
In the States, retired or failed racers are not killed. There is a network of adoption groups that will find homes and couches for them.
Aw he's so cute. But one greyhound's never enough lol
I've noticed that seems to be so😆❤️
he found that comfy bed and sofa quick enough! Smart dog!
Lovely dog...after those 5 years I hope he s still in good health in his Nice family !
Yes still here with us, little bit more GREY now ❤ 8 years old
It was so cute when he was all rolled up in the bed sheets
great video! We have had our greyhound for 8 years now here in Canada. He has aclimatized to the cold very well and loves to race around in the snow.
What a beautiful boy! love this story tks.
He is so beautiful!! I have an Italian Greyhound and she makes me so happy,I'm so thankful I have her 😊😊😊
We have a large black male greyhound named Jesse. He will jump up and Run like the Wind out the doggie door and around the yard in a wide circle. One by one the following start to chase him: 10 year old hound, 7yr old Boxer, 7yr old Corgi-mix, and bringing up the rear, a 1 year old chihuahua! Of course with the pack behind him, he regulates his speed so he keeps JUST AHEAD of the pack! GREYHOUNDS are easy companions, but they DO like your sofa.....with good brushing outside they shed little. I can't imagine life without Jesse. We're in Florida and have a LOT OF GREYHOUNDS that are car to car to car to car delivered to they other states. Wonderful program, the volunteers use their own vehicles and pay their own fuel costs. All for the love of the breed!
What a beautiful boy! It’s wonderful that more people are adopting greyhounds and giving them the life they deserve. 4:58 made me laugh - all our male racers pee like girls as well! Bless you for loving him, he’ll give it back 100%
What a good boy! You rub his belly, and give him scritches behind his ears 🐶
You guys are great. Thank you for giving him new life and so much love.
Congrats on adopting one of the best pets one can have. He looks very very sweet.
Well done to you for loving this beautiful boy and taking care of him.
Lovely! Greyhounds are the most gentle, affectionate and clever dogs! Hope he gets off leash walks?
Aww lovely video and handsome dog - reminds us of our boy. He was exactly same on his first day home now he is so loyal and loving. Best breed ever :)
Lovely, thank you for sharing, hopefully this will encourage more people to see what great pets they make and adopt one or some!
I love greyhounds! I actually want one myself. I'm just not as financially stable as I want being in college, but I have to say the music has me laughing too hard.
Sweet video. He looks SO happy!
Nice video he looks so happy thank you for rescuing him and giving him a happy life he deserves 😀
perfect. we miss our Pilot. maybe someday we'll get two greys
What a beautiful boy
God bless u
Bless him x
He's looking right at home already, probably thanks in small part to a comfy couch. Congrats on your beautiful grey!
+sixten3 Your Greyhound Doodad is awesome! I totally love the sweater and the hat it looks so cute I want one too! :D
Gain a friend, lose a couch.
OMG he is identical to my Irish Greyhound, Fergus. It's uncanny! He even pees the same way!! See my photo inset!
Awww you are so lucky to have him x and he is lucky to have u
Please note that greyhound needs to run almost every day so its necessary to take them to open space, beaches, forest, etc. If not they will be affected by arthritis
All two of our adoptees loved nesting with us
Lucky dog!❤
So cute
Good lookin dog! Appears happy as a lark!
He’s beautiful
I have a greyhound 1 word beautiful
awww i love it .. ! that was my dream too .. one day i will adopt a greyhound too !
From Egyptian tombs to our sofas....welcome to the cult...:)
Soooo cute! He wants that bed
This iz a beautiful story Bolt! I iz a retired racer too! Retirement life iz the BEST! ~ Xander Greyhound 🐾
OMG I thought he was my Irish Greyhound, Fergus. He is identical! See my photo inset! it was really uncanny watching this. Fergus even pees the same way.....
Lol you mean he is lazy to put his leg up as our Greyhound :D seriously he is the laziest dog I have ever seen haha
@@Majakoski-mu1ux this video just appeared as the first post on my TH-cam and it is a year to the day 10th Nov that I had to put my beautiful Fergus to sleep. I had replied to you the first time I saw this as Bolt looks exactly like Fergus. How strange that this popped up as the first thing on TH-cam. 🌠💫🐾🐾💓💖💗 I hope Bolt is doing well. He's gorgeous. Greyhounds are the best 😍💖💘
Congratulations on such a greyt looking dog.
Read about elevated bowls and bloat. Theres' some evidence that elevated bowls raise the risk of bloat.
Gorgeous hound. Says a lot about this breed, he can be a racer in a particular environment. Then transform into a house pet. Great that he was able to have a great place for retirement. We have 4 retired racers and they are just great to have.
pretty cool 😁
You should not leave the harness on your greyhound if he’s lying in his dog bed. It’s uncomfortable for then and can get caught on something. Same principle goes for the collar. Greys have very sensitive necks and it can itch. It should not be left on especially if it’s a martingale as it can easily get caught and choke your dog. We don’t leave any collars on our dogs as it keeps them most comfortable. If you absolutely must have one on, use a house collar or tag collar. Hope your grey has a great pet life!

He is a beautiful boy but why do you say that you saved his life? Was he on death row? Greyhounds that are in the care of adoption groups will be found a home unless they are very ill and senior, then potential adopters may not wish to adopt. Not all owner/trainers are bad, and many do love their dogs and try to find a good home to re- home them when their racing days are over. That doesn’t mean they need rescuing or a martyr saved their life. Yes there are bad owners too, who treat their greyhounds as commodities and these are the ones who give the industry a bad name.
My husband and I
You actually didn't save his life. He was simply retired from his racing career, and you adopted him. He was never in any danger. He was loved all his life since he was born. That's why he's so sweet natured now.
Do you know anything at all about what happens to retired racing dogs like greyhounds?
Hi where can I adopt one? Thanks
We adopted him through an organisation in Belgium, they are saving Greyhounds from Ireland. I guess you can find some organisation that you can adopt a greyhound from in your country.
enya...lol..
Please don’t let him chew on sticks
he doesn't chew sticks.. He is now 12 years old, he has been with us over 9 years... and he is living his happy life with us.
Who are the weirdos that down arrow a vid on greyhounds, for crying out loud??
you have to be careful letting a dog drink too much water. They can get portion of the stomach....an EMERGENCY that can cause the dog to die ASAP.
What? I didnt know that. Thanks for warning. But we have him now for 5 years and never been a problem :) he actually could drink a bit more I think during the day :)
