"The fluid lines and quiet grace of the retired racing greyhound were the inspiration for this body of work. But these photos have an agenda that goes beyond capturing the unassuming elegance of this breed. It is my hope that the work presented will bring about greater public awareness of these dogs and the unique challenges they face after their racing careers have ended". Barbara Karant.
