The regal history of a revered, elegant breed


They were one of the first wild animals to come under the protection of humans.
They have sat at the feet of the Pharaohs. Their likenesses have graced coins,
stamps, seals, and coats of arms. And they have won the hearts of dog lovers
worldwide with their sweet nature, intelligence, and grace.


Beautifully illustrated with more than 100 black-and-white reproductions and
photos, The Reign of the Greyhound is a rich, historical testimony to the breed,
celebrating its extraordinary place in canine history and human civilization.
Passionately written by Greyhound expert Cynthia Branigan, this updated edition
features new information on the history and current state of ex-racer adoptions,
which save the lives of thousands of Greyhounds each year. From ancient Egypt to
modern times, from the temple to the show ring to the track, you'll see how this
noble breed has evolved from a royal pet to a racing dog to a loving companion-and
you'll no doubt deepen your understanding and appreciation of this fine animal,
whose regal history has been too long ignored.
