The
Reign of the Greyhound
by Cynthia
A. Branigan
Book Description: The regal history of a revered, elegant breed. They
were one of the first wild animals to come under the protection of humans.
They have sat at the feet of the Pharaohs. Their likenesses have graced
coins, stamps, seals, and coats of arms. And they have won the hearts of
dog lovers worldwide with their sweet nature, intelligence, and grace.
Beautifully illustrated with more than 100 black-and-white reproductions
and photos, The Reign of the Greyhound is a rich, historical testimony
to the breed, celebrating its extraordinary place in canine history and
human civilization. Passionately written by Greyhound expert Cynthia Branigan,
this updated edition features new information on the history and current
state of ex-racer adoptions, which save the lives of thousands of Greyhounds
each year. From ancient Egypt to modern times, from the temple to the show
ring to the track, you’ll see how this noble breed has evolved from a
royal pet to a racing dog to a loving companion–and you’ll no doubt
deepen your understanding and appreciation of this fine animal, whose regal
history has been too long ignored.
