Animals: Greyhounds in Britain & America

The greyhound is a type of thin dog with long thin legs that can run very fast in hunting and especially racing.

The Greyhound Bus is a type of bus service connecting cities in the US, operated by Greyhound Lines Inc. Greyhound buses are a popular way of travelling in the US, because they are cheaper than renting a car or going by plane. However, they often make stops in small towns along the way, so travelling can take a long time.

Greyhound racing is a popular sport in Britain in which greyhounds run around a track chasing a model hare, driven by an electronic motor. People risk their money on which dog will win the race. This sport is also found in the US, but is not as popular there as in Britain.
