As the sun becomes golden in the late afternoon I stand outside the station and watch Odin moving through the shadows beneath the Zoo wall.
I couldn’t resist writing that sentence.
Of course the truth is a lot less mystical since Odin the greyhound is wearing a leash as he walks beside his elegant young owner.
Nice! Greyhounds should always have elegant owners…..
I’m always touched when I see an owner with a greyhound, as these are usually rescue dogs. Greyhound racing is a sad business.
Yes it is and recently there was an animal welfare scandal that lead to a lot of greyhounds being out of work. Hence Melbourne is full of rescued greyhounds. There was an attempt to ban it all together but alas we are entirely run by big business and gambling and coal mining are the biggest businesses in this country so not much progress on either front.
