 Dogs - Italian Greyhound

 

Italian greyhounds are like miniature greyhounds, but they are now a separate breed from the greyhound. They are thought to have been brought to Italy from Egypt by Roman soldiers at the time of Christ. The Italians loved them, and they became popular as pets in Rome and throughout Italy.

Italian greyhounds are content in a small yard if they are taken out for runs. They make good-natured pets. Their coat is short and thin, so they like to be indoors in cold weather.

Nickey, an Italian greyhound, belongs to Marnette Meyer, South Africa.  Marnette is a runner and Nickey helps her with her speed work. Marnette says, "I can only take her every second day because she will run me dead! She is so fast! She goes where I go - she is my life!" 

 

"The race is not won by the swift, nor the battle by the strong, but time and chance happen to them all," said King Solomon of Israel, so let's acknowledge our dependency on God.  Ecclesiastes 9, 11
