Description

Be they 'iggies' (Italian greyhounds) or 'greyts' (greyhounds), these elegant dogs have been the subjects of artists' gazes for more than 2000 years. Sleek and slim, they've got the looks and bearing of supermodels. Yet all it takes is a lopsided grin, a poke of the nose or a whimsical head tilt to see that they are playful clowns at heart. Greyhounds Big and Small celebrates these affectionate and beautiful creatures with over 50 photographs that skilfully capture the essence of 'greyhoundness'.
