DUKE'S STORY

DUKE, Our first Greyhound. What an experience he was.
We pulled him out of a filthy box on the
track at Sanford. We knew nothing about
GPA. We just wanted to rescue a greyhound. He was terrified of
everything. We had to teach him about people, stairs, and not to fear
the children on "dog eating bicycles".
He blossomed and became quite the social
fella. It took some time. He was very intelligent. He would listen to
Charles voice and do anything Charles told him to do.
Sometimes it was just to " Eat your hard crunchies Duke".. Duke would
go and eat. He was our own barometer. We knew a storm was coming
because Duke went to the closet.
He was our first but not the last.
Duke passed away at age 13. He lived a happy life since he came to
live with us and he gave us lots of happiness. We miss him every day.
