Thanks for all the comments about Bennys return. All the comments left have been approved as it echoes what we feel at the kennels. His owners are very upset to return him but understandably were shocked and upset by what happened. It is a very frightening thing when it is from a generally very placid dog. If he meant true aggression he would have caused more than buising to the visitor. With pressures from the family they felt they couldn't keep him. We would rather he was returned than stay in a home where it could cause further issues. These comments I hope will reiterate one very important thing.... do not touch a dog... especially a new arrival... when they are laying down. Call them to you for fuss as they will come if they are accepting. We are now faced with covering his treatment as his insurance cover had to be cancelled on his return. Please click the donate button on his page and make a difference. Thanks for caring x

Barney has really brought a lot more happiness in our house since his arrival. He has his own bed that he loves to sleep on at night in the living room and he has not shown any interest in anything that don't belong to him although the tuna sandwiches were closely watched last night and my tea was almost taken. We can leave him on his own a little while without any worries and without his crate (That is going by the way) we always get a lovely greeting when we return and a waggy tail. If anyone ever thought about owning a do dog then a greyhound is the perfect companion.

So many of us were overjoyed when Benny got his forever home and I'm totally gutted that he's back If any grey deserved their chance after waiting so long it was him and Nifty- who is also still waiting So sad to see them returned so easily Daybreaks are always on hand to help and advise and I really hope someone gives him another chance very soon :((.

Popped in to see Dubh today. He’s a lovely lad and after a bit of fuss, ended up lying on his back with his head on my lap. He has a very soulful look in his eyes and should really be gracing a sofa of his own.

Sorry, I feel compelled to make a further comment regarding the snapping incident. Here goes. My first ever grey was Max 1 (from herein called Bob because he was fawn and had the hugest bobbly eyes). I confess I knew nothing about greyhounds other than accompanying my dad who was a bookmaker to the track. Bob was as most Grey's) the sweetest gentlest dog you could meet. My son's used to lie all over him and he never batted an eyelid. One night my oldest son went to his bedroom, did not turn on the light and dived on to his bed, not realising Bob was already on it. Bob was startled, jumped up and bit my son on the lip. I took him to A & E and after a battle for him to be seen by a doctor I was told I needed to have Bob PTS. My son was distraught as he said it was not Bob's fault. Needless to say Bob had many more years with us until we lost him at 14.I a dog should not be judged on one incident, particularly if it's space has been invaded. Completely agree with BigEars. Sorry, rant over for now. X

Oh Benny - I'm so very, very sorry to see you have been returned. Perhaps you snapped because of your poorly leg. Certainly we have never known any aggression from you during your Daybreaks stay - just the opposite in fact - you were always up for a snuggle and fuss. Fingers crossed for another sofa very soon. In the meantime will look forward to seeing you on Wednesday. Sending you a hug, handsome. xx

Oh no poor Benny! So sorry to hear you're back. Sure it wasn't your fault you snapped, 'let sleeping dogs lie' as they say. I do hope your leg gets better soon and sure you'll have lots of attention and cuddles at daybreaks till your special home arrives and my fingers and jets paws crossed it won't be long! Sending you all our love jet and Lucy xxx

I had the pleasure of joining Milo’s new family on a walk this afternoon. Milo was absolutely impeccable and the outcome was never in doubt. He’s going to a lovely home.

A few weeks ago I was sad to go on what I thought was my last walk with Benny. Today I was even sadder to take him on his first walk back at Daybreaks. He enjoyed his walk but is obviously perplexed at being back at kennels. Hopefully the xray on his leg will indicate whether he has a pain issue and then we can hopefully find a home committed to bringing the best out of this wonderful hound.

Barney has had a wonderful day. This morning he went out with cousin Florence and aunty Klaire he was so pleased to see them he could not wait to get out the car. Barney is very pleased that some of his friends have reserved signs on.
