Retired Greyhound Trust sponsored walk

There was a large turnout of greyhounds and their owners for the sponsored walk in aid of the Skye Branch of the Retired Greyhound Trust down at the Links this afternoon. Everyone set off in a heavy shower but returned in brilliant sunshine. Here's another three pictures.

Three of the dogs taking part in the walk are Homeless Hounds who are looking for permanent, loving homes. They can be identified by the coats with ‘Greyhounds as pets/Take me home’. Check out the Skye Retired Greyhound Trust web pages for more information and for details of other Homeless Hounds. More pictures here on the Gurn Flickr pages.

More images now available on the Gurn Flickr pages.

Rescue Greyhound on Nairn beach

This video shows just how much fun dogs and their owners can have on Nairn's beaches. This was taken on the East Beach and although dogs are not allowed on the Central beach in summer you can still go on the East. So if coming to the Highlands on Holiday why not visit the East beach this summer, there are two car parks nearby.

The information on this video's youtube page reads:

'Daisy is a two year old rescue greyhound from The Scottish Greyhound Sanctuary. Check out their website - http://www.scottishgreyhoundsanctuary...Greyhounds make fantastic pets and, by adopting one, you could be saving their life. '
