Whippet
Miniature racing hound
A whippet is a slender, fast dog breed resembling a small greyhound, bred for racing and hunting by sight.
The name suggests the motion of whipping—quick, snapping movement.
Whippets are known for their gentle temperament and bursts of speed.
In drug slang, a whippet is a small canister of nitrous oxide inhaled for a brief high.
