Beautiful tribute to racing greyhounds

KatiesCats

I've seen this a million times, but something made me pull it up again today.  OMG the tears!

It's a song written about racers, and how they are hoping for homes from the day they're born.  Grab a tissue...seriously!

I'm not usually a sucker for things like this, but it's a really well done song, and the video features dogs adopted by our rescue group.  I get all weepy thinking of the racing dogs who don't know how wonderful real life is, and how much love someone could be giving them.

 

Since the day I was born

I?ve been running for a living

So put your money down, as I go at it alone

Cuz I can?t go home

I can?t go home

 

My friends have gone away

Families have come and they?ve gone

They never stay too long, they go where the wind has blown

Cuz I can?t go home

I can?t go home

 

Oh, I?m dreaming of a bed

Shades letting in the sun

A place where I can stay, where I can spend my days

I know it?s out there

 

I had a dream one day

I was running ?round in circles

And then I jumped so high that I left everything behind

To find my home

To find my home

 

Oh, I know it?s not too far

The race is almost won

More and more each day, we?re finding our way

I?m right behind you

 

Since the day I was born

I?ve been dreaming of their faces

Here I am today, lying face down in the shade

I?m not running anymore

I?m not running anymore

 

I?ve found my home

I?ve found my home

All choked up!

It was the end that got me...the pictures of dogs who had found their homes and whose "race is over."

And now I want a greyhound....if only I could afford to adopt a second dog.   They are truly beautiful animals.
