Nice to see that an otherwise “unwanted” dog got a fabulous new home and family. I laughed out loud at the picture in the gallery where Sapphire and Butch had opposite beds to their size.
Good on, JK! (yep, yep!) All dogs are only as friendly as their owners….this one’s gonna be a doll! (not that she isn’t already!) I think of Butch as the “older sibling who’s feeling left out, with the new baby’s arriva! They’ll be fast friends in no time! For someone, who could just go out and BUY any animal she wished, I am pleased that she chose to adopt. I wish more people would!Greyhounds are wonderful!
LOL! Has anyone noticed that, in the first picture, Butch has the “big” cushion and Sapphire has the small?! Too, too cute! Happy, happy! Joy, joy!
Hey, jo rowling is receiving a special honour award at the Pride of Britain awards! I thought she was presenting, but she’s not! Why am i surprised? Way to go, Jo!
That’s so sweet of Jo and her family. The dogs are adorable.
Great story, but is anyone else battling to get the picture to load?
I’ve heard what lovely pets retired greyhounds make. There is a rescue program in my area, and I often see people out walking these graceful dogs. It was great seeing the pictures—my favorite is the one with the greyhound on the tiny bed and the tiny dog on the large dog’s bed. Cute.
Hugs to JKR and her family for adopting this special dog. :-)
That’s wonderful! People would pay to be that dog! Posted by Helios Lightra
Look for professional help. And do not insult people by makig such sick statements!
We all know what an incredible person Jo is … the fact that she adopted a rescue greyhound is just magic! I know very well these dogs, for a good friend of mine is resposible for adoptions of former racer in Italy. I hope lots of people will follow Jo’s footsteps and adopte one too!!!!
I’m so glad she got a rescue greyhound. I would have liked one – but settled for two rescued guinea pigs (cavies) instead. Ginger. Twins. Called Fred & George…I wonder why?!

HOW SWEET IS THAT!! LUV YOU JO!!! Yea who wouldn’t reconize her???? I wish i was sapphire!!!How luck is she!!!! Hope you have a great life! :)
Story for my fellow HP pet lovers: On Friday, July 20th, our dog “Blue” passed away. It was a very emotional day to say the the least. Read book seven the next day. Put the fictional character deaths into perspective pretty quickly….didn’t shed a tear. I did, however, have to walk away from the book for a bit when Hedwig died. :-(
Over the next few days, I had to resist the urge to run up and down the neighborhood and hug and furry friends I came across. Before the neighbors called the cops, we decided it was time to look online for a new canine companion. We had gone to a breeder for Blue, so this was a new experience for us. We couldn’t believe the number of pets out there waiting for a good home. Heartbreaking. After searching through hundreds of available pets, we saw our next dog: he had been rescued minutes away from being put down at a high-kill shelter. He was scraggly and small, and looked like a cross between a gremlin and an ewok. We fell in love. A week later, Tucker became a member of our family.
We’ll never forget Blue (I still tear up thinking about him), but we have a lot of love to share, and are so glad we didn’t hesitate to bring a deserving pet, waiting for that love, into our family. Rescues rock!
p.s. I wanted to name him “Padfoot” or “Norbert”, but got voted down. And I so wanted to be known as “Norbert’s mummy.” Humph.
incoherent splutterings I adore that photo ♥
