Great Book. A Terrific Addition! May 22, 2002
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I've just finished "Living with a Greyhound" and think it's a terrific addition to my greyhound library. As the title indicates it is not a guide to adopting a racing greyhound; Ms. Branigan covered that territory first and best in her classic, the appropriately titled "Adopting the Racing Greyhound".
"Living" covers just what the title says, what goes on after the adoption when the hound is part of the family. I thought the articles on greyhounds as therapy dogs, in agility trials, as lure coursers, and in many other arenas were very instructive and helpful. All were written by owners who have extensive experience in the area they discuss, and this gives them real authority and credibility.
As an aside, the same thing applies to Ms. Branigan. The fact that she has been running a greyhound adoption agency since before the first edition of "Adopting" came out in the early '90's gives her a wealth of experience and credibility that I don't see matched in subsequent guides, which unlike "Living" don't cover any new ground and are basically just rehashes of her original.
"Living with a Greyhound" is very readable and its production values are great, nicely printed and bound with beautiful pictures which all seemed fresh to me. I'd recommend this to any greyhound owner or anyone else interested in the breed.
Branigan Hits Another Homer February 28, 2002

After reading her two other books on Greyhounds (Adopting the Racing Greyhound and The Reign of the Greyhound) I have been waiting for Cynthia Branigan's next book. I am not disappointed! She is the only person to write Greyhound books who is also the head of an adoption agency and, as they say, there is no substitute for experience. Her deep feeling for these special dogs shines through every page and the color photgraphs are fantastic. This book is a nice companion to her other two and includes updated adoption information. Keep them coming, Cynthia. You're the greatest!
