- Red – a saluki greyhound lurcher
Meet Red.
Red was a saluki x greyhound lurcher. Owned and adored by my friends Mary and Ken in Chelmsford.
Red’s origins were unknown. Probably a gypsy dog used for coursing (hunting hare and rabbit). He was ‘found’ as a stray at a friend of theirs. He kept appearing at the bottom of the garden and they had fed him but not been able to get close. Eventually Mary and Ken won his trust enough to bring him home with them.
The poor guy was peppered with lead shot. A lot was removed but some was so deeply embedded that it could not be got at.
He had some issues which needed working out, but they persevered. Red was Ken’s best mate. He loved people and would go to the pub on a Sunday. A true gentleman and loved by everyone who met him.
Sadly Red died about 4 years ago. He had a wonderful second life which many dogs would be envious of. He is very much missed.
