Arrival Story:
My Dad raced and bred Greyhounds ,Flynn came to us when Dad was owed money for a stud fee we were tole he'd be a good racer so my dad took him in and trained him, and sure enough he was a great racer. When I was 6 my dad gave me Flynn to care for when He was still racing . I was so proud of him. He was an amazing dog who never backed down. And always tried his hardest . Of the track he was very gentle, and all the local kids would come over wanting to play with him. And of course he loved all the attention. He was a very special boy. Who I still miss everyday. He lived to he was 12yrs 4 mths and 10days old. Which is quite old for a racing Greyhound. He was always my favourite of the lot of them. In my heart forever the most special boy in the world.
