The pups are tired today and don’t feel like starring in the blog. Instead, they direct you to a recent article on CNN.com about people who save the lives of greys and how those greys help save the lives of other dogs:
A group of 55 greyhounds rescued after a life of racing are helping to save more canine lives with the donation of their blood.
The dogs, most owned by professors, technicians and students at the Ohio State University veterinary school, visit the school several times a year to give blood.
Greyhounds represent the bulk of the donors, and with good reason because they typically have a universal blood type that any dog can receive.
Greyhounds also have big neck veins that make drawing blood easy, said veterinarian Guillermo Couto, who works with the animal blood donor program at OSU.
They have big hearts too.
