RETIRED GREYHOUND WINS AGILITY AWARD – American Greyhound Council

From author and adoption expert Cynthia Branigan comes word that Lily, a retired racing greyhound, has won top-ranking status for agility in greyhounds by the U.S. Dog Agility Association. Lily, who is nine and a half years old, was adopted in 2004 through Cynthia’s organization, Make Peace with Animals, of New Hope PA. During her active racing career, Lily was known as Media Starlet.

Lily’s owner, Sue Bulza, began working with Lily when she recognized the greyhound’s remarkable athletic potential. Despite a one-year hiatus in training, Sue said the red fawn beauty has been a stellar pupil.

"We all know that greyhounds can run the fastest, but it’s nice to know that they can do well and have fun in other sports as well," Sue said.

Cynthia Branigan is the author of "Adopting the Racing Greyhound," an award-winning book that tells prospective greyhound owners everything they need to know for a successful adoption. She also has been a featured columnist in the NGA publication, "Greyhound Review," covering topics related to greyhound adoption.
