Contrary to popular belief, the greyhound does not
spend its time racing about. In fact, it’s been said,
"Gain a greyhound, lose a couch".
So Peter’s greyhound, based on his friend’s dog Flash, is
shown in its natural state - resting. Long-time HK collector, Catie Leicester,
who has worked as an advocate for greyhound rescue for many years,
is mentioned on the lid. HK House of Lords Dealer Lynn Trace,
who told Peter about the Gulf Greyhound Track in Texas which
finds homes for ex-racers, also receives mention.
The interior of this 600 piece fixed edition box figurine portrays
two track rabbits working out in an attempt to
keep ahead of the chasing greyhounds.
2.5" wide, 2.75" long and 2.25" tall.
