Read an excerpt from a biology text on greyhounds. (3minutes)

Greyhound is one type of dog. Greyhound is a very old European breed, which has been historically bred for hunting and racing. 

It is a gentle and intelligent breed, whose combination of long, powerful legs, deep chest, flexible spine, and slim build allows it to reach average race speeds over 39 mph. At maximum acceleration, a greyhound reaches a full speed of 43 mph within six steps from the boxes. The only animal that can accelerate faster over a short distance is the cheetah, which can reach speeds of 68 mph in just three or four steps. 

Greyhounds were sometimes starved and abused to become race dogs, and in the latter part of the 20th century there was a large movement to rescue retired race dogs. Since then their popularity as a pet has increased.
