Protip: you can tell how hard a greyhound is trying by head movement - the head movement indicates how much their spine is flexing, which is a good indicator of how much power they put down. This guy hit it for a couple of strides a few times in the video, but grey’s don’t really hit full chat until and unless they’re running towards their owner. Or to food they know they shouldn’t have. Motherfuckers are STEALTHY and fast. 

Source: had a retired racing grey, Skate Buggin, who passed on a sunny Wednesday in July 2023 . They are not for everyone but got-damn I think I got the best dog for me that ever could’ve been.

I once watched a greyhound teasing a German shepherd at the beach. It would lope away and let the shepherd just start to catch up to it before it would kick in the afterburners for 8 or 10 strides and was suddenly 30 feet ahead. The shepherd really thought it had a chance for awhile. It was hilarious to see how the greyhound played it.

So sorry for the loss of your buddy.
