That's sad for Benny. Most dogs would snap in that situation!. It probably wasn't the right home and I'm sure the right one will come soon. 🙂 xx

I so hoped it wasn't Benny. If a dog is in pain exceptions have to be made particularly if the dog is on his bed which he should be allowed to consider his "safe zone" such a shame a home is out there Benny. Please people I have said many times do not over look the older dogs they have so much to give and watching them adapt to their new life is so rewarding, but this takes time especially when you take on board everything they have to learn and process.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but 2 weeks... really? None of us who have been adopted by these beautiful hounds, will ever fully understand what each & every one of them has been through in their previous life. Time & patience is what they all need and deserve whilst adjusting to their new life, where the language being spoken is probably foreign to them and they are learning new rules. Many humans don't react well to being woken from sleep and as Benny is nursing an injury he's quite rightly protected himself when approached on what should be his 'safe area' his bed. Keeping our fingers & paws crossed for positive news from your X-rays Benny. Big hugs xxxx

Big cuddle for Benny today, so sorry to see you've been returned. Hopefully that right sofa is out there just around the corner, after so long you deserve to put your paws up for your retirement xx

I'm so gutted for this boy, he just needed time. It can be stressful for any dog to adapt to a change in surroundings and given his leg problem he should have been given more of a chance poor boy. There are Greyhound people and then there are people that want a Greyhound!

I am absolutely gutted for this beautiful boy, my option only and you probably won't approve this post but the poor lad hasn't been given a chance. I don't know, people seem to give up on these special hounds too soon, they need patience, love and understanding, 2 weeks is no time, and I agree with Bigears a little dramatic!!!!. Never mind Benny, I am sure you will find a family who will love you for you, let's face it nobody is perfect are we. Sorry to rant but so upset.

Oh Benny, I'm so sorry you've been returned. Such an upheaval for you, and with a poorly leg too. I hope your perfect family comes along soon and you get the support and security you need. You get my hug today.

I am absolutely devastated to see this. I did hope against hope that it was not Benny. So very sad, I really wish that I could do something to help, but I am full to capacity now having adopted Flloyd. Please, please, please, there must be an experienced greyhound owner/previous owner or someone who can give this boy the time and patience he deserves that could help this boy. He so needs to be in his forever home. Benny, I hope and pray you find your home very soon. Jo xx

How can you judge a dog by 1 incident. Any animal can snap at any time especially when wounded and dogs are usually very loving. A little over dramatic and odd I think. Poor thing

I am absolutely broken hearted that Benny has been returned after finally being homed 2 weeks ago. Sadly he snapped at a visitor. He is on medication and due to have x-rays this coming week as he hurt his leg recently. In Benny's defence, he has never shown any aggression like this during his previous long stay at Daybreaks and the visitor did touch him whilst he was laying down on his bed. In addition, he must clearly be in pain from his leg so sadly he was possibly reacting because of this 🙁

Went out in the car this morning so I knew it would be a special walk, when we got there uncle Ian, Auntie Deborah and my cousins Samantha and Barney came too! So exciting to see Barney again. He tells me he loves his new home and I heard uncle Ian telling mommy how wonderfully well he is getting on. Mom asked TC if we could foster another grey as the kennels are full to bursting but he said no :-(. She'll keep asking. Hope everyone gets reserved this weekend! Florence. Xx

We had Barney in is crate at night for 3 nights because he was so nervous and then he came out on Thursday and made him self at home. We put him back in Thursday night although he was not that keen and was quite happy on the living room carpet next to us. We have left him out since and he is feeling really quite at home. He will lie down for a bit then come to me for a big love and fuss and then go back to sleep. He is fantastic in the house and let's you know when he wants to go out. He is not quite so nervous when out for his run now like he used to be and seems to know where is house is. He loves plenty of fuss and he is a true winner in our hearts.
