Addendum to add:
He is 68 lbs of awesome greyhound, 6 years old come January, and originally bred in Ireland for coursing rather than racing. He was sold to a Canadian, most likely intending to race him, and there is some suspicion that he was raced illegally a few times. At some point he got adopted/sold to someone in Vancouver, who kept him out-of-doors all the time, with only an unheated doghouse for shelter. He was rescued by the Vancouver Humane Society before being sent to to the greyhound adoption group located here in WA.
