Acknowledgments

My thanks go first to my family, as always: my husband and partner, Don, who makes me lunch every day; our kids, Patrick and Pinkie, who amaze me every day; and my parents, Richard and Barbara, without whom... well, that’s pretty obvious. And thank you once more to Laura Norman at Que, for walking me through another one. The rest of the gang at Que deserves kudos, too, especially project editor Tonya Simpson, copy editor Keith Cline, and technical editor Lisa Sihvonen-Binder.

Many of the models for the photos in this book are retired racing greyhounds—a most extraordinary breed of dog. To learn more about how greyhounds make wonderful pets, visit http://www.adopt-a-greyhound.org.
