Synopsis: [From the back cover:] "The Lucky Greyhound is the inspirational story of Maple, a bred-to-race greyhound who wasn't cut out for the track. Luckily, Maple is adopted, first by a veterinarian and then by an artist and medical technician. Maple is a truly extraordinary dog that leaves the racetrack behind to live in a dramatically different world. Her adaptable nature and loving adoptive parents provide Maple with the tools for success in her new life. The story reverberates with her triumph. Written and Illustrated by Beverly Hembold Erschell, a renowned artist living in Greater Cincinnati, The Lucky Greyhound features more than thirty of Erschell's original artworks. They were created expressly for this highly collectible book." Pictures are described with explanations of the artist's varying styles. Dog loving readers of any age will enjoy this short book full of facts about greyhounds and descriptions of loving experiences with Maple, an exuberant, loyal rescued pet.
