I had this funny family. At one end, they were breeding dogs in south-east London - for greyhound racing - and at the other, my uncle was living in Downing Street. And I would actually go to Downing Street, which didn't strike me as funny. I'd get on the number 15 bus.

greyhound racing

Greyhound racing

Greyhound racing is an organized, competitive industry in which greyhound dogs are raced around a track. The dogs chase a lure on a track until the greyhounds cross the finish line. As with horse racing, greyhound races often allow the public to wager on the outcome. In many countries, greyhound racing is purely amateur and for enjoyment. In other countries, greyhound racing is part of the gambling industry, similar to although far less profitable than horse racing. There is some popular concern in countries with greyhound gambling regarding the well-being of the dogs; the effectiveness of industry efforts to address these concerns is a topic of some debate. A greyhound adoption movement has arisen to assist retired racing dogs in finding homes as pets.
