About Me

Welcome, I was once an Irish street kid who lived with a pack of stray dogs for 3 years. You can read about this incredible time of my life in my memoir, THE BOY WHO TALKED TO DOGS by Skyhorse in New York. It was described by Malachy McCourt as 'astonishing, well-told story'. It's also available on Audible.

Does your Greyhound ever turn its head away from visitors or kids?


Does your Greyhound ever turn its head away from visitors or kids?


If you see your Greyhound turn its head right away from someone, it’s saying in Dog Language: ‘Please go away.’ If its nose is almost touching its side, it’s saying: ‘Please go away…please…I’m begging you…’

Your Greyhound might say this to visitors and children. You don’t want this sort of misunderstanding to end in a growl or a nip – so help your stressed dog out. Ask the human to leave it alone and pretend it doesn’t exist or put the dog in a safe room where no children can annoy it.

All dogs use this polite signal but Greyhounds usually say it more elegantly than any other breed!
