Pitty-Pat, the Dog of the Day
Name: Pitty-Pat
Age: 9.5 years old
Gender: Female Breed: Greyhound
Home: Berkeley, California, USA
 
   Pitty-Pat is a great ambassador for retired racing greyhounds. She was born at a racetrack in Florida but now lives (mostly on a couch) in Berkeley California. Pitty-Pat started racing professionally in August of 1997 and, after only four races, ended her professional career with her best showing a dismal fourth place. We lucked out! Her owner no longer needed her and she was free to be adopted as a pet!

    Pitty came to live with us in California nearly five years ago. Of course she charms us daily but also charms everyone in the neighborhood. She knows what stores routinely save treats for her: she uses her big dark eyes to flirt with the best!

    Pitty loves to test products for her friends who own a dog wash and supply store: she frequently rejects toys with squeakers that are too scary. She still loves to run very fast in big circles but she tires quickly and returns to nap on her couch.
