Description
Most places I visit are worth no less than a drawing, which later becomes a painting. This depiction of the West Palm Beach Dog track holds special meaning. Though bettors win or lose, they are privileged with the choice to bet or not bet. The greyhounds, unseen in this image and about to run in the eleventh race, have no choice. They have a good life, despite living in crates, until they reach two or three years of age when they can no longer race. If not adopted, they are euthanized. My friend, Lois, had adopted two greyhounds. I and my dog, shown in the painting, become friends. A little shy at first, the greyhounds soon warmed up to the caring environment and became great house pets. No matter how dismal life may be, adopt a greyhound and you will never be lonely.
