Miss Davies’ greyhound, Flashie was the star of an Assembly in January. After learning a little about the history of greyhounds as a breed, greyhound racing and the Retired Greyhound Trust, the girls were able to meet an ex-racing greyhound in the flesh.

Flashie did not have the most successful racing career, but she has been a fantastic pet for the last six years. Greyhounds are notably calm and friendly and Flashie demonstrated this perfectly, while being more than happy to be stroked by over eighty Junior School girls.
