EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1968, we find ourselves in the company of Poor Mick, a proud and noble black racing greyhound, who stands before us with an air of quiet determination. The autumnal hues of the setting sun cast a warm, golden glow over the scene, bathing the image in a rich, textured light. The cool, grey tones of Poor Mick's sleek coat contrast beautifully with the vibrant colors of the falling leaves, creating a stunning visual juxtaposition. Poor Mick's eyes are fixed intently on the trophies that lie at his feet, a testament to his incredible athletic achievements on the racing track. The gleaming silver and engraved glass awards proudly display the names of the races he had won, a source of great pride for his owner, Howard. The image captures a moment of triumph and celebration, a brief respite from the rigors of competition. The greyhound breed, known for their speed, agility, and slender build, have long been a favorite among dog lovers and racing enthusiasts alike. In the 1960s, greyhound racing was a popular pastime, and Poor Mick was undoubtedly a star of the sport. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the deep bond between man and dog, as well as the unwavering dedication and passion that drives both the trainer and the athlete. This image, taken in 1968, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the simple pleasures of life, such as the joy of watching a beloved pet excel in its chosen field, held great significance. The photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of Poor Mick, a champion greyhound, and the unwavering commitment of his devoted owner, Howard.
