Chico

This retired racing greyhound was rescued & adopted by a great family I know.  For those who don't know, racing greyhounds are put through exhausting work & training during their racing career & are worn out by the young ages of 2 & 3.  Many of these racing dogs never know the love & comfort of a family home, even after they are cast away from the racing circuit. 
His name was Chico, he had a great life with his adopted family, & that family that loved him was my Aunt, Uncle, & cousin.  I loved him too.  Thanks for asking me to paint him, Aunt Nancy.
