Twenty two years ago the couple retired to Florida, and accidentally moved into the heartland of greyhound breeding farms, and by the completion of production of their Paramount Pictures film RUNNING COOL, had met HAPPY, a rescued retired racing greyhound, fallen in love with him, and formed the non-profit National Greyhound Foundation with a mission to rescue, adopt, and educate people about the plight of the racing greyhound and the animal human bond.
Today, over 9000 rescued greyhounds later, they are sharing the joy of owning a racing greyhound with people everywhere. The love, the laughter, the tears, will show these wonderful greyhounds and their impact on families with not only the joy they bring as companion's in the home, but also the smiles they bring to terminally ill children in hospitals, laughter to special needs children in schools, memories of long lost pets, joy to the elderly in Assisted living facilities and hope to our Veterans with PTSD.

This video will spotlight some of the most wonderful moments in greyhounds lives and honor the men and women who have dedicated their lives to become caretakers of these wonderful canine companions, showing the world the wonder of the racing greyhound.
