dog racing

Canines chase lure

Dog racing is a sport in which greyhounds or other breeds chase a mechanical lure around a track while spectators bet on the outcome.

The dogs run at high speeds, typically completing a race in under a minute.

Once popular in the United States and United Kingdom, the sport has declined significantly due to animal welfare concerns about the treatment of racing dogs both during their careers and after retirement.
