It is a riveting remembrance of three glorious years spent with a magical dog."My greyhound and I recommend you read this stunning memoir!”—Dr. Jane Goodall
If you ever had any doubt that greyhound racing never should have begun, no less continued to grow as a highly abusive and heartless global bloodsport, all uncertainties will rapidly evaporate when you read Christine Dorchak and Carey Theil's new book,I'm thrilled that Christine and Carey could take the time to answer a few questions about their new book, an inspirational, riveting page-turner about an amazing dogfor two main reasons.
CD/CT: We are complete opposites. The two of us grew up more than a decade apart, on alternate coasts. One of us was raised very traditionally and the other quite liberally; one was an animal-loving “Jersey Girl” turned lawyer, and the other a poet and chess master turned political strategist from the Pacific Northwest.
This Yin and Yang turned out to be a unique balance of opposites that is perhaps the reason that our organization survived and succeeded against all prophecies to the contrary. That said, we shared the same goal, that of stopping an antiquated and derelict commercial enterprise that was costing innocent hounds their very lives.
CD/CT: Like Brooklyn was to greyhound advocates, we believe that gentle hounds are true ambassadors for other animals in need of help. Brooklyn was born in Australia, where he failed as a racer. Then, before he was even two years old, he found himself shipped out to the worst dog track in the world.
