The daughter reading stories to the dog is the most heartwarming thing I have seen in years. 🙏
Seriously - the “singing” also was just incredibly touching! Love seeing her singing the song of her people with such joy!
There were tears here.
Absolutely adorable.
Her _five-year-old daughter!!_
It didn't even sound like clunky or slow reading, like I'd expect from a 5y/o, IF she can read already at all, at that age!
Parenting done right.
yup
Years ago I adopted a couple of rescue greyhounds. And I suppose because they are raised away from a human home environment, they are initially quite disoriented, not understanding much of their new surroundings. Coming into my house, the first thing that made them cower was the ceiling fans - _not_ spinning mind you - just the presence of these _things_ on the ceiling. It took quite a few months of patience and constant reassurance, but eventually they came out of their shell to be very loving dogs. The one thing they never got over was the July 4th fireworks noise every year. I always stayed with them, lying next to them, in contact, trying to make them feel secure while they were shaking in fear until it was over. They were a couple of sweet boys and I still miss them.
I had the same with one of my rescue greyhounds, she was absolutely terrified of loud bangs and it was because she'd seen some kennel mates shot when they'd ceased to be useful 😢
My dog also absolutely hates fireworks. I got so mad this year because the neighborhood parties went on for days. She just cowers and shakes the whole time and there is no way to get away from it. I was ready to call the city and ask isn’t there some sort of ordinance or something about fireworks. Like how many days are they allowed to set them off.
Most dogs, regardless of breed, are afraid of fireworks 🤷♂️
@@craigandrews7544
I have 2 rescue rat terriers. Neither of them have ever been around a rifle yet both hate fireworks and still run and hide if I get my pellet rifle out to clean it.
I guess being hunting dogs they instinctively know what a rifle looks liķe.

"She loves children" because your daughter, with her beautiful soul, taught her how.
My former principal had greyhounds. He used to call the “the world’s fastest couch potatoes”. His dogs were big babies.
Exactly! We were amazed when our vet told us that. Doing the "cockroach" is hilarious too! It's when they fall asleep on their backs with their legs up. They have a goofy personality that we loved so much!
Giving a greyhound a chance to just be a couch potato is an incredibly wonderful thing a person can do, IMO.
❤😂
Thank you for saving Georgia. What a wonderful lesson in compassion for your daughter.
I couldn't have said it better! Children desperately need that lesson if we want a brighter future for all of us!
Agree 1000%! I believe every would-be parent should own a dog first. And every child should be blessed with the unconditional love that growing up with a dog typically provides. Having them in our lives teaches us so much! 💯👍
From how to be a “good” parent by parenting your fur-baby first to laying the foundations of emotional intelligence in your human children through the development of empathy, kindness & taking responsibility for the well-being of what will very likely become one of the most loving relationships you & them will ever experience (aside from each other hopefully). 🐶♥️
We need more animal activists. Hooray for your daughter!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hooray for the whole family !!
No we don't they are a pain in the arse let people live how they want... greyhounds are treated amazingly well
@@garethwhelan5610if you think dogs are pain in the asses then don’t have one… but your low opinion of dogs doesn’t excuse the abuse the dog racing industry puts on these greyhounds. They are intelligent living animals and deserve to be protected.
@@garethwhelan5610and if you don’t think they get abused then there are several articles you can read on google.
A greyhound running at speed is a majestic sight. ❤
Isn't it though? We were gobsmacked the first time we saw our girl Sugar running. And running with joy!
They like to run, not race
Greyhound racing in the United States is being phased out. I hope all countries will ban greyhound racing.
Your daughter is a wonderful Ambassador for greyhound rescue!
Thank you for rescuing the beautiful and magnificent Georgia!
🐾💗🌼🐾💗🌼🐾💗🌼🐾
unfortunately australia is dragging their feet
That would mean greyhounds wouldn’t be bred anymore.
@@ferretyluv Many greyhounds are euthanized because they are not pets.
@@hereandthere6001 BS! GAP is very popular here.
@@sharonsolanayes, but they make wonderful pets. As you can see from this video. Beautiful, loyal gentle Dogs. 💝💖💟💗🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
I rescued two racing greyhounds over the years, a 3 year old and a 10 year old, both had different personalities and both were wonderful dogs, they make exceptional pets after the hardships of the racing world and are utterly beautiful.
An elderly couple I knew adopted a greyhound. The wife called the dog a "40 mph couch potato". 😅
@@kathleenredick275 that's spot on 😅
I had one, ideal dogs for older people. People think they need so much exercise but they dont
She actually wanted to run, but ON HER OWN TERMS!!!! Love this story. Thank you soooo much!🐕🦺 She sounds like me.
Yes, it does seem so.
Greyhounds always run on their own terms? There’s no jockey forcing them to run 🤷♂️
@@craigandrews7544 There is a visible difference between a greyhound running for fun, and what they do on a track.
@@alicerandell8332 they love it no matter your visual interpretation
@@craigandrews7544 Greyhounds love the racing business? Is that what they've told you? You seem to be privy to information the rest of us aren't.
My greyhound died last April. They are fantastic companions. Considering what they went through they can turn around so quickly. Yes they are the perfect dogs for a young girl. They are beautiful, smart, super clear, fun. Watching them run free is really awesome. I still tear up looking at my greyhound pictures. But I know I gave him a great life.
Ours has passed too - she was a rescue here in Oregon USA. They shut down racing in the last state, Florida, I believe. She was the same coloration as Georgie! She was so loved by us, and our two cats (she was tested as cat friendly). I too tear up when I see them, but kind of in a good way. Just seeing them be free and happy is fantastic!
What a beautiful story! Thank you for giving Georgia a chance. You and your daughter have opened up the world for this dog! And your daughter is an incredible young lady to be advocating for these dogs! ❤❤❤
This is a beautiful story only for this single dog and its family. Howerver, there are still all those other dogs tortured for money.
daughter reading stories to Georgia is the sweetest thing I've seen all week. Their love bond is so clear.
I guess adorable Georgia's vet will never have to tell the family that she needs "longer walks" & "more exercise"...🤗Those beach zoomies made me really happy seeing her obviously enjoying herself s000 much...I have a tremendous amount of respect & great affection for people who care so much for the well-being of animals...God bless them all across the world!
Amen 🌼
Beautiful comment…my sentiments exactly.
God bless you. 🙏🏻
I 2nd every word you said.
Surprisingly greyhounds don't need very much exercise at all. I'll walk mine down to a fenced in playground in my neighborhood to take her off lead and let her run and half the time she does 2 laps and then stands by the gate wanting to go home and nap lol.
@@mastod0n1 How old is she? Bobo, a mongrel who resembles this dog in colouring and leg length simmered down at age 12 or so, I think. When he was 1 he literally shook on the couch if his walk had to be delayed. His walk? No, his run.
We're glad you rescued Georgia. We've had 39 rescue dogs during our marriage----all dogs no one wanted. The dogs all came with baggage----abuse, hunger, illness, etc. Have patience. Give love.
We rescued a Pitt that was just skin over bones, over two years ago. It’s taken him this long to learn how to be a dog & he’s still learning. He used to be food aggressive but now he can stand beside his sister & wait patiently for his share. It takes love & patience but he’s the most loving & sweet dog.
@@genitagray6126 A heartwarming post!
That's amazing ❤
No mailman will have a chase out-running her. It is so sweet to see her in such a deep level of comfort with the little girl . Being read to and having a nice ear massage looks like heaven for her.
I have my retired Greyhound since he was 3. He just turned 12 and he's slowing down but still loves his ball and zoomies. Greyhounds make wonderful companions and are such magnificent beings.
THAT is the most adorable scene that I have EVER SEEN.
I'll never forget seeing that sweet little girl reading to her dog to help the dog stay calm and relaxed.
And they will be bonded for life!
Thank-you for adopting this wonderful dog. Thanks for letting people know how abused they really are.
99.99% of humans have zero business owning any animal.
It's a beautiful thing to see them dogs run because they want to run, not because they're forced to, and she definitely looks like she loves to run. What beautiful interactions between her and your daughter. So sweet to watch.
I'm so happy we voted against Dog 🐕 racing here in Florida and did away with it.
and a decade later that track in Sarasota is still rotting away.... I went to the races there once, it was fun. My mom won some money.
@@dave.of.the.forrest it's Sarasota. Everything is rotting away.
I'm not sure what is wrong w/ dog racing, except for making them as livestock. That would seem to be the big problem. Those dogs do love to run and were bred for it. There must be lots about it that I don't know. Many dogs are happiest as working dogs, doing what they were bred to do. As long as they are treated humanly and still have kindness, it doesn't have to be an issue to not just have them as pets.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 The problem is they only do that for 3 years then dump them. Also they're mistreated. There's lots of issues with dog racing.
@@jama211 I don't really know what the issues are.
Never would have thought there's anywhere in the world where dog racing is becoming MORE and not LESS popular 😔
It's awful. It needs to go
Yeah, Georgia needs a football field to get her zoomies out. But thankfully she's with the right family to sending a message that greyhounds are perfect family dogs. 💕💕
Your daughter is her Georgia's emotional support human. It's a lovely relationship, thank you for sharing.
Georgia was put up for adoption because she had slowed down. Now it looks like she is running faster than ever, but on her terms!!!! 🐕
Greyhoinds are such sleek and beautiful dogs. I'm so glad you rescued that baby!! She's a beautiful girl!! ❤
Australia need a change in their laws regarding greyhounds. Thanks for giving this sweet gal a loving home ❤❤
GOD BLESS these people for adopting these beautiful animals!!
GAIA BLESS these people for adopting these beautiful animals!!!
Yes may Pashupati bless these people for adopting the dog. Or maybe Lakshmi? Or maybe another of the thousands of gods out there. I'm sure view blessing people for things like this as a high priority for their godly work.
Great adoption story. Reading to dogs is a wonderful way to bond. I was already deeply bonded to my JRT, Mr. Smee, but I read to him anyway. His favourite book was The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
I'm so saddened to learn that greyhound racing is a growing sport in Australia when other countries, the United States for one, have been working so hard for so long to bring it to an end. It's an incredibly abuse activity, deeply unworthy of the word "sport."
Seeing that sweet child reading to her dog just touched me... When I was in high school, I got a pair of kittens, brother and sister, from free from a neighbor having a garage sale. I was finishing the Harry Potter series at the time. I'm partially blind, so the HP books were absolutely massive, coming in several thick Braille volumes. To unwind and relax, I would read the books aloud to them on the downstairs walk-in basement couch where it was quiet, no dogs. They'd just curl right up. I read to them outside too, sometimes. It was all of the last three books I finished over eleventh and twelfth grade.
I have such memories, like when I was reading to them outside and left one volume of Order of the Phoenix out by mistake. It got rained on and pretty soaked, but the Braille dots all survived!
Another time, one of the kittens, the boy, piddled on the edge of one volume. Yeah ... I was NOT amused.
Our sweet kitty boy is sadly no longer with us, but his sister is almost seventeen and still with us. If I ever read out loud outside, she'll still come up to check it out. Her brother would too, when he was alive, despite them growing up to be naturally outdoor kitties.
Now my family has a puddle of poodles. I ought to crack open a book and maybe get my little sister in on reading to them too. It's a lovely thing to do. I was so glad to see the little girl in this video bond with her dog so.
Encourage your daughter to highlight the plight of racing dogs after retirement ❤❤❤
Watching a greyhound run free is like nothing else. To me it resembles freedom. ❤
So wonderful to see Georgia living her best life with a fantastic family 🥰🐶❤️🫶🏼
It makes me so sad to see these lovely dogs treated so badly,your stunning sweet daughter! What a star! They are lucky to have eachother xxx❤xxx
I worked at a Greyhound farm. They suffer. This makes me feel so good to see this. Thank you Thank you thank you ❤🐾✨️
That broke my heart a little bit. When she said that Georiga could run on her own terms, my eyes leaked.🥺
That pure joy when she runs on the beach, it's breathtaking to see.
This is beautiful! Thankfully in the states they have begun shutting down the dog tracks. Some states have banned it and the cruelty has made it not so lucrative. You must be so proud of your daughter for speaking on behalf of the greyhounds.
Bless you and your daughter for rescuing Georgia I am from Australia myself and I agree with you when it comes to the greyhound racing industry thank you Jess for putting that Awareness out there about the greyhound industry and how greyhounds are treated and thank you Jess and thank you Geobeats for sharing Georgia’s story hopefully this video will inspire more people to adopt Greyhounds and give them a loving home ❤️🐾
You daughter touches Georgia so softly and tenderly. Their bond makes me happy. Bravo to your daughter for speaking out for greyhounds.
Loved watching her race through the water ❤
Beautiful spirits Georgia & your daughter have 🙏 Its strange to see Greyhound racing becoming more popular there in Australia while here in my home state of Florida ending Greyhound racing for good came up on the ballot a few years ago & was passed! 🐕 My mother (God rest her soul) & I were so happy their time as money makers for betting was over! 👎It is my hope & prayer that all the dogs waiting for homes find them & that some day the dog racing will end there too. God bless one & all 😇💙
Greyhounds are absolute angels on earth, thank you! 😍🙏
My wife and I used to rescue Greyhounds. I sure miss those wonderful dogs
Oh goodness! Your greyhound rescue looks like one I had rescued years ago! Her name was “BoBo” - short for “Someball.” Her dad’s name was “Gameball.” She was also black and white. She had a 3 leaf clover on her bum. The three leaves on her bum - right, left and center, with the stem going down her tail. They are such gracious dogs! And, yes, scared of many household things. Bless you for being caretaker of this sweet soul! 💗
She is almost identical to my Irish Greyhound Fergus. GH are amazing Dogs. Gentle, living, loyal and very sensitive. I love ❤ them all. 😍🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
🤧 aww she's so gorgeous, bless you for adopting her, and giving her a great forever home, cracking good video thanks for sharing 🖤😎👍
She hit the jackpot with this living family! 🐾❤️
Amazing! I'm so happy seeing your daughter promoting adoption of greyhounds!
That's terrible! I was under the impression dog racing was being phased out! Thank you for making Georgia part of your lovely family. Your daughter is a little angel ❤ 🥰 🧚♀️💕
They are really amazing dogs once they get adjusted. You'll never find a more loving and loyal companion.❤
Beautiful story! No animal should ever be considered livestock. Your daughter is going to do something great for animals someday.
Live stock???? What people do to find an excuse for their own cruelty. I am glad that this family gave a home to this wonderful and fragile loving dog.
Greyhounds are the best. I got 5 rescue ones myself. Most greyhounds don't ever make the race track and are discarded from a young age. Thankfully a lot of people are waking up to what's going on in this cruel and very dodgy industry. Greyhounds are so amazing and misunderstood......and yes they all LOVE TO RUN......FREE! ❤
I'm 60, I remember the sick people who use to own grey hounds in the 60s, to race them, treat them like dirt, walk them constantly and if they don't win races, get's a one-way car trip to .. I hope grey hound racing is NOT coming back ! Yes, Perth still lives in the 60s.
Great to see you looking after an abandoned dog...
A sweetheart!
Thank you for your family's work on behalf of Georgia and all racing greyhounds!
So beautiful to see Georgia sing and the love she has with your daughter ❤🥰😍
The ocean is sooo beautiful where you are and Georgia is especially beautiful! Fast as the wind and absolutely precious in her rainbow sleeper!💞🐾
Seeing Georgia run made me laugh! Her running is an expression of pure joy! You are so lucky to have her in your life and I see your daughter has this special touch. She is so gentle with Georgia. Many happy years for your beautiful family!😀
I loved watching her run run run!!! Greyhounds running is like poetry in motion. Gorgeous. She's lovely and I'm glad she's decompressing more and more every day. Sometimes it takes years and she's well on her way. Thank you for loving her. I love how greyhounds are leaners, too.
Seeing Georgia and your daughter made my heart grow two times bigger. What an amazing bond between the two. Thank you.
You folks are wonderful. ❤
God bless these people for loving this beautiful dog.
My son’s greyhound was so quiet and self-contained, it was so disconcerting in the beginning. Now he’s aging backwards - very much like a puppy! Goofy and fun.
So adorable🥰🤗 Greyhound racing should be outlawed!
Man! She is fast! Thank you for the rescue! I’m thinking someone may be a dog trainer? Well done you! 🐾♥️🐾
Heartwarming. Bittersweet. Your daughter is absolutely wonderful to take such action. You are wonderful to pass on your compassion and kindness. God bless❤
What a great environment for Georgia where she could run in shallow water and green grass; such a great buddy with the daughter who is so caring and loving 👍💜⚘️
Your daughter is a fabulous and beautiful young lady. She has certainly been pivotal in ensuring your precious pups happiness.
Gorgeous dog and such a sweet family
To anyone considering adopting a greyhound......go for it. I adopted two ex racers in England, one from Battersea dogs home in London, and one, 4 yrs later from a racing kennel that was shutting down in Dorset. I can honestly say I never had an issue with either dog. They were both great with kids, horses and other dogs. They are gentle and fun loving and do not need the huge amounts of exercise that everybody thinks they do. Two decent walks a day with a good run is sufficient as you will find most greyhounds in the home are cabbage potatoes and love to curl up and sleep, prefably on a sofa.
Mine were both introduced to a cat in our home years later and lived happily with the cat till the day they passed. Please do gauge your greyhound before introducing smaller animals, I knew both of mine would be fine with a cat as they were both so laid back. Mine needed very little medical attention in the years I had them and they were both long lived, 18yrs and 16 yrs respectively. I would always recommend a greyhound to anyone prepared to give them a good home.
I wish more people knew how sweet and loving Greyhounds are. All they want is your love and they will give it back 10 times over.
What a lovely story ❤ Seeing Georgia with your daughter is beautiful.
Greyhounds are one of the sweetest breeds.
Very many thanks. These hounds need the love the deserve.
I love your puppy AND I wanted to comment that I’m truly impressed that your daughter ACTUALLY READS A BOOK to her. She doesn’t read a phone story…she reads a book🥳🎉🥳
What a beautiful sight to see Georgia running free! It reminds me of the speed of a cheetah! Thank you for bringing awareness to people about the treatment of greyhounds! They are so beautiful and deserve all the love!!! ⭐💖🙏
Hermosa 🐕🥰💝💝💝💝
Such a beautiful story. Your daughter is quite a kind and loving soul.
Georgia is beautiful! She's sooo fast when she's running! Love her little pajamas and how precious is she with your daughter? Love the howling, the singalongs and her curled up on her back, smiling. She's a happy girl 💜
What a beautiful dog in a beautiful new life!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🇨🇦
She is a very cute and pretty grayhound
How uplifting!!! 😊🥳❤
How beautiful 😍❤♥ 🥳🎉🎊!!!
Thank you!!!😊❤💖💕♥💗
I'm so glad that greyhound racing has been prohibited in many parts of the US. We had a rescue grey - they are lovely pets!
We’ve had our greyhound since about 12 weeks old - she was a rescue and has been the most loving dog I’ve ever known. Like the doggo in the video, our girl thinks she’s a lapdog and curls up with anyone who’ll sit with her. We’ve got three dogs and she’s the first to greet and want to play with any new visitors. I hate imagining other greyhounds being treated badly.
😮❤ just beautiful 😍
Your daughter is such a gentle, loving soul, the perfect companion for Georgia.
You can be very proud of your daughter 👏🏼!
So happy Georgia is living life as she was meant to do. Thankful she received a second chance for happiness & love 💗 I pray dog racing will soon end forever
Thank you for loving this dog, you look lovely together ❤ The world needs more people like you!
Your daughter must be so happy that y'all rescued Georgia! They look like they're besties! It's so wonderful to see them together. 😍❤️🐶
Watching your lovely dog running reminds me of a line from the film Chariots of Fire, which was based on the real UK track team in the Olympics in the 1920’s. One of the best runners, who is a very religious person, says “when I run I feel his [God’s] pleasure” - watching that beautiful doggie running across the water reminds me of that quote!!
Bless you for your kindness 💕
You really have a special daughter thank you for saving such a wonderful breed!

It's always so wonderful to see a Greyhound run ON THEIR OWN TERMS. They are just amazing when they do. Speaking of amazing: your daughter...wow. What a wonderful, compassionate human being. Thanks for being there for Georgia and thanks for doing all you are doing for the breed.
Nothing more beautiful than an animal running free! 💕
Thank you for being such angels to Geogia; and championing justice for her peers in a more compassionate imperative to eliminate racing dog exploitation.
She looks so wonderfully transformed, majestic in her poetic athleticism. And glows, a dearly welcomed member of your family. ❤️
What a gorgeous dog! Heartbreaking to see her at the beginning, but sooo satisfying to see her so happy and free at the end of the video. So happy this wonderful family adopted Georgia. ❤️
Watching her run with such joyful abandon brings a lump to my throat! She looks so powerful & strong, happy & free. I absolutely loved when she laid her head on the daughter's lap. So sweet!
End the commodification of all animals. She should never have been tortured. She should have had a life that gave her joy. Thank you for seeing her heart through to the greatest joy! Your love of your family. All hearts beat because of kindness and love. Love all animals!!
