Bo is a racing greyhound, at the top of his game. But, after an injury he is no longer fit for racing, and his owner allows him to be placed in a home as a pet. However, Bo is unhappy and nervous about his move; is it really possible for a speed dog to become a domestic pet? Beautifully illustrated by Bruce Potter, Anna Kenna's rhyming text tells his story.
