Hi there! I'm Odie... Dempsey's real brother! You've already read about him and Trailways, haven't you? Well, this is my little corner of the world... and I'm so happy you came to visit!
My name used to be "Aljo Whisper Jim" at the track. I raced until I was 5 1/2 years old... then I started to slow up a little. I could have dropped down in class and still raced, but my people wanted me to retire as a Grade "A" racer... so they retired me and I came to live with my brother and my new brother! Isn't that cool??? I got here on July 1st, 1996. Three days later I was in a parade! The nice people from the Greyhound Adoption Group my new people belonged to (GPA/MD) were in the Dundalk Fourth of July parade, and I was the newest greyhound there! Wow... was that fun! I got lots of head scratches and ear rubs... all the people said I was really handsome! (gee... I was even a little embarrassed!)
In this picture we were at the GPA/MD Greyhound Reunion... there were about 600 Greyhounds there. I won the "Tallest Greyhound" contest! It was sort of hard work, though, so I had to take a nap... then Dad woke me up for this picture!
If you've enjoyed reading our pages and learning about Greyhounds, but you don't have one yet... won't you consider adopting a Greyhound soon? There's one out there for you... waiting...
If you'd like more information online, here's a new service some of my friends have started. It's called the Greyhound Adoption Forum... and the people who run it can direct you to an adoption group in your area. Or you can contact Greyhound Pets of America at 1-800-366-1472 - they will refer you to their closest chapter. Whichever you choose... please consider adopting one of my friends. Let a Greyhound race into your heart... you'll find love at 45 MPH!!!
