Thank you to all who have liked and subscribed we really appreciate it. I am happy that Fairy is bringing pleasure to so many people ❤
My middle daughter and her husband have been taking in ex Greyhound racers for about 20 years, but I think that this is the last batch of dogs for them as they want to start traveling around.
Please have alook on line at GAP Victoria or GRV and you can see the effort that is being made to find homes for the pups who can’t run as fast as someone would of liked or Finishing or Finished there Racing Carers ! You can also look under greyhound rescue for other re homing outlets we have but please look at GAP VICTORIA ! ❤️
How beautiful to see an ex racing dog just enjoying life for life's sake, and using her incredible gift of speed on her own terms . You are so lucky to have a gorgeous greyhound. And shes lucky to have you.
@@Michael020neither sickly or sweet. It's about an ex racing Greyhound running full speed on a beach. I fail to see what was sickly or Sweet about any of this. But then, there are Trolls everywhere. 😡🤮
When I was a child we adopted a retired brindle greyhound. We took her to the beach every Sunday for the afternoon, family day at the beach ( not this beautiful ocean just a river, but there was land and she could really get her speed up.) She would run like she was reliving her glory days. Running in circles, just happy to be free. She dug holes, in a shady spot of our back yard, but she would circle them three times then tuck herself the smallest size. That was back in the 1970s. She lived to the age of 17, Thanks for reminding me how awesome friend Sheila (a.k.a Peas & Rice) was.
Back in '93 my wife & I adopted a black greyhound we named Commander! He was only 2 when we got him because he wasn't fast enough for racing!! We had an acre of flat back yard. Every morning he would eat his breakfast go outside & poop & pee and run around the yard like a jack rabbit! He was beautiful to watch! Next door was a women & she had a horse she used to work with in her corral & would run the horse around it & Commander would run with her every time! She had her running partner right next door! He lived to 13 which was pretty good! We still miss him & his best friend Chloe our standard Poodle. She was the brains & he was the dim-witted side kick!!
Was für ein tolles Lebensgefühl für einen Hund, in so einer Weite Rennen zu können und das Leben zu genießen. Freiheit und seine eigene Stärke zu spüren. Klasse Hundehalter!!! ❤❤❤
No one can watch this without "feeling" her pure joy and excitement ... You can literally see her thinking about how the sand feels and just how fast she might be able to go on it!
I loved how she brought forth thousands of years of knowledge... to dig a hole in the sand to find a cooler place to rest in... just as her Egyptian ancestors would have done. Just like my old rescue dog digs a hole in the comforter at night before snuggling in behind my wife's legs. Thanks for giving this lovely girl a new life!
Do you have a collapsible water dish that you can bring with you? I knew she'd get thirsty running so much and seeing her drink so much sea water wasn't good.
@@samsmom1491 I thought about that too. I figured out pretty quickly to always bring water and a bowl with me for my dog on our long beach walks. The first time I took her to the beach I hadn't thought about it in advance. When we got to a river flowing into the ocean, she waded in panting from running and drank like a fiend. I'd heard that fresh water flows on top of salt water when they meet, so I hoped for the best. But on the way home in the car, she produced an enormous sea-water barf. That was the last time I took her to the beach without drinking water in my daypack.
I know that feeling of seeing your greyhound disappear off into the distance. You want them to run but it can become a rescue operation all of a sudden. We went looking for our first greyhound after he saw a rabbit. We got in the car and started driving down the road in the direction he ran. Out of nowhere in the opposite lane comes Robo running down the road toward us. He ran past us just like a car in the other lane would, and at the same speed.
They are man made, nature had very little to do with it. We did a damn good job. Lovely dog and clearly a conscientious respectful owner, I had a Greyhound myself that was a retired racing dog, sadly it had separation anxiety and would cry every time I left the house without him. Greyhounds are fantastic companions but require far more of the owner than most pets do.
@@alistairbolden6340 A damn fine job. It's a dog bui for one purpose and one purpose alone - to run very fast after something else very fast, and to catch it. But - all they are, are just genetics we selected for that puppies were born expressing. And with those came a dog that is also a wonderful companion. But like all working dogs - and these very much are born to a job - to expect a lot of them demands a lot of their owners. Wonderful, wonderful dogs in the rights hands though. And they'll give their world right back.
It was heartwarming to see her run free along the beach. She is shaped like a projectile and runs as if shot from of a cannon. Her breed really benefits from large open spaces. I love how her eyes were shining with joy. I bet she had a good sleep when that day ended.
This isnt true- I had an old hound who once took off after some distant elk and no amount of home pampering and treats could have made him come back. We found him eventually, but not after he had run himself silly and probably put himself in real danger trying to catch em’ Silly old man, had the prey drive of a wolf or dingo
I had a Dane years ago that would get a wild hair every now and then and go off a wandering. We lived in an old farm house in Nebraska on 10 acres and the dogs got to run around off leash when we went out. It was surrounded by fields and our nearest neighbor was the only one within sight. Most of the time, they were content to run around the property where we could see them. But every now and then, the Dane would just stop, look me dead in the eyes and I knew. I would try to call him back, but he would just stand there. Once I got within about 50 ft of him, he would take off like a shot and not stop until he was over the hill in the next field and out of sight. Ironically, this is how we got him in the first place, he had run off from a suburban home when he was a young dog and got picked up by Animal Control. His owners did not call for him. He was a big baby and I we had coyotes all around, so whenever he took off, I would load up the truck and go after him. If I went on foot, he would just run from me, if I could get anywhere near him in the first place. But if I took the truck, he would hear it. He loved to ride in the truck. So I would drive to the top of the hill, open the back door and yell for him. He’d come flying over the hill like a fur missile right into the back seat, very proud of himself. I miss that big goofball.
@@mcfly7 That’s not true; recall in retired racers is very poor. These dogs are older adults , fully trained & have had a career when you get them. It’s very difficult to teach them Recall; their whole instinct from 500 years of breeding & training is to RUN FAST. I’ve had a few greys, retired racers & injured unwanted dogs who couldn’t race; the old racers NEVER learned recall.
We took my friend's greyhound to the beach at Bamburgh years ago. She was so excited she took off and was out of sight in a few seconds. Her first time there, we didn't know if she'd return. But she did. Always bring water for your dog, by the way.
I totally agree on the water aspect. I always have to bring water for my dog while at the ocean beaches. He will drink salt water otherwise. And ocean water will make them sick if they have too much. And tbh, I was starting to get worried about this fella with the amount she drank. Need to keep them filled with water to the point they won't look at the salt water other than to splash around in. The collapsible bowls along with a bottle works wonders.
Dear god, heart-stopping moments, I've been there, got the- T-shirt, nothing more rewarding than seeing a dog released for the first time- coming back !!!
She loved this! What a beautiful beach. It's so funny when they taste salt water for the first time. So much water and not a drop to drink. Did you bring fresh water with you? She must have been thirsty after all that running. I noticed she kept trying to drink the salt water.
It is SO great to see her! Thanks! Maybe a bowl of water for her to drink would be a good idea for a walk like that (there are portable bowls, I do not know the English word sorry). But seeing her run free is such a joy! :)
We have a rescue greyhoind named Bonnie. We take her to our local beach and she loves being able to run free. There is nothing as joyous as watching a Greyhound in full flight. 10 mins of that and shes knackered and wants to sleep for 6 hours 😄
I had a mongrel with greyhound characteristics. He could run for 3 hours a day in our woods and wasn't winded. If he didn't get his long run, he literally shook on our couch which he claimed as his drop and flop. What a dog. Those large lungs and long legs so much remind me of Bobo.
Man, what joy watching this. An x racer, in total FREEDOM!!! wow. Even the digging, an laying in the hole, splashing in the water, running over and over again, the way God made her to run. This was so heart warming I could hardly stand it. Then wrapped warmly, smelling good food, and having a great meal. God bless you for all you've done for this pup!!!!! WELL DONE, WELL DONE.
Pure joy! What a beauty....her color and those eyes! Thank you so much for sharing your Fairy's beach adventure. Love watching a greyhound run free!! ♥
One of the happiest (maybe the most) greyhounds I've seen. She is so clearly loved, well cared for, and happy. The bouncing when she first got there. 🤣😂
The SHEER JOY she had exploring the beach. Running free because she wanted to not because she had to. Loved seeing her love it ! ❤ Will make me smile ALL day. Thank you.
OH my goodness, this is REALLY spectacular. Your baby is a dancing marvel and so happy that you shared this terrific and joyful time. Those circles, that is the orbit she maintains to keep you in her sights.
Nothing more beautiful than seeing a greyhound running full flight on a beautiful beach like this! I don't have anywhere to take my greyhounds to run other than a dog park, which I don't like as they're usually crowded with other dogs and many who misbehave and start fights. Thank you for posting this lovely video. Your gorgeous dog was having the time of her life!!!
OH MY GOD - tears welling up here. We had a rescued ex- racing greyhound (Millie) and she did the exact same things as Fairy! Bless you -ALL ANIMALS should be treated with love, respect and be free!!! Xo
Thank you letting Fairy be exactly what she is, a free loving dog. Letting her know that this is what life is and the life in her past is not normal life.
This video could replace any anti-anxiety meds - it’s so beautiful and relaxing to watch. Absolute joy and freedom - God bless Fairy and her sweet family for giving her this gift of a whole new life.
Awhhhh! Lovie ! Yessss! This is what dogs need to do :-) What a lovely beach. I take a Whistle too, just incase my voice isn’t loud enough. And some fresh drinking water / bowl.
@teresadasilva8773 maybe because the dog kept drinking the ocean water. Seemed thirsty. Never saw it given water while out there. Or maybe the comment was only stating they bring water when they go.
I love watching a big dog run! Love her color and eyes! I never doubted she would come back! I think she circled to stay near you, not her racing career.
That is one happy, happy excited little girl. I am so pleased to have shared that moment with you and her. She looked like she couldn’t believe how lucky she was! She is so beautiful as well
I have rescued a few greyhounds they are the most beautiful loving dogs ever, she’s beautiful I hope she has a long and happy retirement with you. God bless you for saving her. ❤❤❤
So many misguided dog parents try to train just being a dog out of their dog(s), which I think is a form of animal cruelty. This is a whole video of just letting a dog be her beautiful self and I salute you for it!
It must be so rewarding to see her learn to be a dog! Not just a chase the "rabbit" on an oval track, but an actual running free and playing dog with a loving human .vs. someone who quite possibly is figuring out how to make the most profit out of her life! Both of you are blessed to have each other in your life!!!
Seeing her running at full speed, doing what she was born to do, knowing she's just having a whale of a good time, is so heartwarming!!! What a beautiful girl, so lucky to have you!
Thank you so much for sharing… I am a 24 hour caregiver and watching that beautiful dog run free was so uplifting. Her excitement and freedom gave me just a few moments of freedom myself. I can’t put into words the hope for my own freedom it inspired, thank you. I do hope you brought water along for her to drink, all that running she will need fresh water…
The one dog I ever had - a mongrel - we once took with us to the Ayrshire beach at Culzean. He met a red setter there and they just had the time of their lives, racing round and round. At one point our dog leapt over a low wall, not realising there was a 3 metre drop on the other side to a burn. He emerged unscathed. Such a day!
Pure Joy. Thank you for posting this. That is one beautiful dog. Watching her run brought tears to my eyes. I can't run fast anymore since I'm nearly 70 but I could feel her energy and exhilaration. What a pleasure. Thank you!
We rescue Greyhounds. They are the sweetest dogs ever. Brilliant with children and the elderly because they are SO laid back! Wonderful to see this beautiful grey girl running for sheer pleasure. ❤
😻What a gorgeous dog, gorgeous location, and joyful video. And what a blast Fairy is having! She clearly doesn't want to run away from you--she just wants to R-U-N!!! I believe all dogs run in circles when they're exuberant--I think it's referred to as a victory lap in the dog training world. So wonderful to see her doing it! I have a rescued ex-hunter galgo and I sure know that "will they come back?" feeling every time I let him off the leash here in Rabbitland🙈Thanks for sharing the dog joy! xo
A couple of thoughts after having watched this: at the same time, greyhounds are the high-performance sports cars _and_ the sleek super models of the canine world. They're such beautiful creatures. Then, watching Fairy running flat-out there on Harlech beach may be the best demonstration I've ever seen of the concept of "joie de vivre". Thank you for sharing!
She is absolutely exquisite. I have never seen a happier Greyhound in my life, and I can't think of anything better for a dog like her. What a beautiful life you are giving her. ❤
Fairy is so gorgeous! I love to see the pure joy she is experiencing running free on the beach. I love to watch this video It makes me feel so happy. Thanks for sharing her. What a good Mommy you are!
I have often seen dogs, large and small, on beaches, and they always let loose in joy. But this is an entirely new level how exciting to see her let loose and run at full speed. It’s an impressive sight indeed Beaches were made for children and dogs to abandon restraint and enjoy life with sand in their toes and the smell of the salty air in their noses. And here is a wonderful video of a high energy dog making full use of that. Thank you for sharing this event with us. I hope you’ll share many more!
We let one of ours off on Hunstanton Beach (Norfolk) after we’d had him for about a year, he took off after some Gulls nearby then came back, 2mins later took off after the same…only didn’t stop! The only reason I knew he was ok were the flocks of birds rising up into the sky that I could see literally on the horizon!! So I set off on the long walk to attempt to retrieve him…10 minutes later he came back, still running with tail wagging mischievously…& very out of breath. He had a drink, ambled around for 5 minutes then set off again, only he didn’t go quite so far, & he was a good boy ever since (although sadly he passed away earlier this year aged only 10…but I smile every time I remember that incident!)❤😂😊
It reminds me of my hound’s first trip to the beach in Cornwall. He loved it and we have some great pictures from the day. He’s 12 now and has dementia so won’t be going to the beach again. When I see him dreaming, I like to think that he’s reliving some of our lovely days together like that.
When I first took my dogs to the beach they loved it but I forgot water. Now that is the first thing I think of because they get so thirsty. She was enjoying herself very much love to watch her run thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful animal! Her gate is not only incredible but elegant as well. It so wonderful to see she is having an incredible retirement with a loving family. So many of the dogs do not survive being racing dogs. I wish many more years of shear happiness and health to Fairy.
You are such a good puppy Mom, you can just see how she loves you. She will come back to her Mom. Rescues always know who their people are! Look at her run! Thank you for giving her a new special life. This is so good for her to run like the wind ❤❤❤❤ PS. She LOVES the beach!!
Pure joy !!! Thank you for sharing this with us. My neighbor once had a retired racing dog and he was a sweetheart. Watching them run is a thing of beauty. And.... as you said..... seeing them live a life as a regular dog and enjoying life with their human family !!! For next time, a bowl of fresh water would be great. After those runs, she needs water..... but not the salty ocean water. A jug of water and a bowl would be nice.....
She runs like a cheetah. She was made for it! She’ll always come back. Let her let loose sometimes! It brings me joy to watch this. Thanks for sharing!❤
If a dog feels loved, cared for, and able to do their "job," they'll always come back. Fairy was bred to run, so running is her job. Great to see you letting her "do her thing." She looks happy. Good job!
I adopted a ex racing greyhound. One day he took off after the rabbits in the fields. Took me 2 hours to find him. He had ran 12 miles from the house, he was covered in mud but sure was a happy boy.

Drinking the salt water is not ideal tho! Very fast n very thirsty too!
No one can watch this without "feeling" her pure joy and excitement ... You can literally see her thinking about how the sand feels and just how fast she might be able to go on it!
So true! So joyous!
I was smiling the whole time. 😊
Totally, you can see the pauses at the start where she's looking an thinking "I can go so fast here,..."
That's the gift of empathy. It not just about sympathy for people in dire straits, it's about sharing others' feelings good or bad.
Greyhounds have “zoomies” on an entirely different level! Thanks for sharing.
They are bred for racing
Their zoomies are incredible
Sonic-zoomies
I loved how she brought forth thousands of years of knowledge... to dig a hole in the sand to find a cooler place to rest in... just as her Egyptian ancestors would have done. Just like my old rescue dog digs a hole in the comforter at night before snuggling in behind my wife's legs. Thanks for giving this lovely girl a new life!
That was so lovely watching her run free and play on the beach. She is so fast.
She’s an amazing dog 😍

There's no feeling like the first time you let your greyhound off the lead, and then when they actually come back!

Same!!

It’s obvious the dog is very thirsty after all that running. Didn’t think to bring her water?
Fairy's footprints in the sand when she's at full stride must be impressive!

I had a mongrel with greyhound characteristics. He could run for 3 hours a day in our woods and wasn't winded. If he didn't get his long run, he literally shook on our couch which he claimed as his drop and flop. What a dog. Those large lungs and long legs so much remind me of Bobo.
seeing her get all jumpy and excited from a new environment made me so happy! 🥺
This dog is very lucky to have the nicest Family. 😄
Heartwarming to see a greyhound having so much fun. Bless you, for making it happen!
Man, what joy watching this. An x racer, in total FREEDOM!!! wow. Even the digging, an laying in the hole, splashing in the water, running over and over again, the way God made her to run. This was so heart warming I could hardly stand it. Then wrapped warmly, smelling good food, and having a great meal. God bless you for all you've done for this pup!!!!! WELL DONE, WELL DONE.
Wow - she flies like the wind! Beautiful to see!
Pure joy! What a beauty....her color and those eyes! Thank you so much for sharing your Fairy's beach adventure. Love watching a greyhound run free!! ♥
One of the happiest (maybe the most) greyhounds I've seen. She is so clearly loved, well cared for, and happy. The bouncing when she first got there. 🤣😂
He’s just digging the heck out of that beach!
The SHEER JOY she had exploring the beach. Running free because she wanted to not because she had to. Loved seeing her love it ! ❤
Will make me smile ALL day. Thank you.
OH my goodness, this is REALLY spectacular. Your baby is a dancing marvel and so happy that you shared this terrific and joyful time. Those circles, that is the orbit she maintains to keep you in her sights.
Nothing more beautiful than seeing a greyhound running full flight on a beautiful beach like this! I don't have anywhere to take my greyhounds to run other than a dog park, which I don't like as they're usually crowded with other dogs and many who misbehave and start fights. Thank you for posting this lovely video. Your gorgeous dog was having the time of her life!!!
OH MY GOD - tears welling up here. We had a rescued ex- racing greyhound (Millie) and she did the exact same things as Fairy! Bless you -ALL ANIMALS should be treated with love, respect and be free!!! Xo
She looks SO happy and excited. !!! ❤❤😊 Such a pleasure to see this !!🎉
Makes me happy to watch her run. Relieved to know she’ s so solid on recalls.
Watching her run free was amazing and I got goosebumps. A very majestic girl.
Absolute magic! Thank you for letting me watch Fairy doing her thing!
Watching this i couldn't stop smiling. Love greyhounds.
Thank you letting Fairy be exactly what she is, a free loving dog. Letting her know that this is what life is and the life in her past is not normal life.
This video could replace any anti-anxiety meds - it’s so beautiful and relaxing to watch. Absolute joy and freedom - God bless Fairy and her sweet family for giving her this gift of a whole new life.
Absolutely!
So fun to watch. The next time you go to that beach be sure to bring a gallon of fresh water and a bowl.
What a beautiful dog, so nice to see such pure happiness
Awhhhh! Lovie ! Yessss! This is what dogs need to do :-) What a lovely beach. I take a Whistle too, just incase my voice isn’t loud enough. And some fresh drinking water / bowl.
Why do you just assume that she didn't bring fresh water
@teresadasilva8773 maybe because the dog kept drinking the ocean water. Seemed thirsty. Never saw it given water while out there. Or maybe the comment was only stating they bring water when they go.
@@teresadasilva8773 Who is "assuming"? I merely said, that is what I take with me.
That's exactly what I thought! Hope they bring fresh water with them for the dog!
Greyhounds are pure joy inside and out, so very grateful she's free & with you! 😍🙏💞
It's the best place for them to run.❤
I love watching a big dog run! Love her color and eyes! I never doubted she would come back! I think she circled to stay near you, not her racing career.
Such a joy to see her run! I bet she slept well that night! 🤣
It's beautiful seeing them run free and just be dogs. You see the dog they've always meant to be.
which hardly makes up for all the times they are prisoners of their master's selfishness, running little and rarely...
How wonderful to watch this precious girl having THE best time -- Greyhounds are great !!💓
Oh my goodness, that face! ❤ I love her face when she's holding her ears way back and those big round eyes. So darn cute!
Glad she has a Mom like you. Fantastic to see her joyful running and playing.
I love that you give her that total, secure freedom. I could almost feel her excitement.😊
That is one happy, happy excited little girl. I am so pleased to have shared that moment with you and her. She looked like she couldn’t believe how lucky she was! She is so beautiful as well
I have rescued a few greyhounds they are the most beautiful loving dogs ever, she’s beautiful I hope she has a long and happy retirement with you. God bless you for saving her. ❤❤❤
A wonderful sight! Running free, enjoying the wind, the sea, the smells, digging, splashing loving life to the full❤
This brought so much joy to me seeing that beautiful animal just running & being a dog. She seemed so happy. Beautiful to watch!!!
So many misguided dog parents try to train just being a dog out of their dog(s), which I think is a form of animal cruelty. This is a whole video of just letting a dog be her beautiful self and I salute you for it!
Beautiful dog!!! I can’t stop smiling❤️
It must be so rewarding to see her learn to be a dog! Not just a chase the "rabbit" on an oval track, but an actual running free and playing dog with a loving human .vs. someone who quite possibly is figuring out how to make the most profit out of her life!
Both of you are blessed to have each other in your life!!!
Seeing her running at full speed, doing what she was born to do, knowing she's just having a whale of a good time, is so heartwarming!!!
What a beautiful girl, so lucky to have you!
Thank you so much for sharing… I am a 24 hour caregiver and watching that beautiful dog run free was so uplifting. Her excitement and freedom gave me just a few moments of freedom myself. I can’t put into words the hope for my own freedom it inspired, thank you.
I do hope you brought water along for her to drink, all that running she will need fresh water…
❤️
ahhh Thx .. great fun ‘n freedom well cared for beautiful girl but maybe should have fresh water on beach ,)
Wow!!!! She is absolutely having a ball. Very cute. She sure figured out how to get cooled down quickly by digging a hole.
How glorious to see her run in freedom and with joy! It made my heart happy to watch your beautiful girl.
The one dog I ever had - a mongrel - we once took with us to the Ayrshire beach at Culzean. He met a red setter there and they just had the time of their lives, racing round and round. At one point our dog leapt over a low wall, not realising there was a 3 metre drop on the other side to a burn. He emerged unscathed. Such a day!
Pure Joy. Thank you for posting this. That is one beautiful dog. Watching her run brought tears to my eyes. I can't run fast anymore since I'm nearly 70 but I could feel her energy and exhilaration. What a pleasure. Thank you!
What a fabulous beach! And so few people! Wonderful to see her running with happiness👍♥️🇨🇦
This is a typical British beach. Huge and almost deserted apart from Dog's having a fun day out. Perfect for a Greyhound. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
6:45 - She doesn't like salty water .... Looks at her owner as if to say; "What is this ?".
Dogs have such a huge capacity for joy! And it's such a joy to watch.
What a beautiful sight. Imagine her joy. Thank you for sharing it! Greetings from TxUSA.
We rescue Greyhounds. They are the sweetest dogs ever. Brilliant with children and the elderly because they are SO laid back! Wonderful to see this beautiful grey girl running for sheer pleasure. ❤
Thank You kind soul for the joy you have given this beautiful being and to all of us.
😻What a gorgeous dog, gorgeous location, and joyful video. And what a blast Fairy is having! She clearly doesn't want to run away from you--she just wants to R-U-N!!! I believe all dogs run in circles when they're exuberant--I think it's referred to as a victory lap in the dog training world. So wonderful to see her doing it! I have a rescued ex-hunter galgo and I sure know that "will they come back?" feeling every time I let him off the leash here in Rabbitland🙈Thanks for sharing the dog joy! xo
A couple of thoughts after having watched this: at the same time, greyhounds are the high-performance sports cars _and_ the sleek super models of the canine world. They're such beautiful creatures. Then, watching Fairy running flat-out there on Harlech beach may be the best demonstration I've ever seen of the concept of "joie de vivre". Thank you for sharing!
She has the prettiest eyes and the sweetest smile.
She is absolutely exquisite. I have never seen a happier Greyhound in my life, and I can't think of anything better for a dog like her. What a beautiful life you are giving her. ❤
Fairy is so gorgeous! I love to see the pure joy she is experiencing running free on the beach. I love to watch this video It makes me feel so happy. Thanks for sharing her. What a good Mommy you are!
What a beautiful looking dog!! Fast as lightning, all power and muscles, i could watch her all day! Thanks!!
I'm loving seeing the pup having such a good time. Free to run and dig, than a warm coat and a slap up breakfast for all concerned.
I have often seen dogs, large and small, on beaches, and they always let loose in joy. But this is an entirely new level how exciting to see her let loose and run at full speed. It’s an impressive sight indeed Beaches were made for children and dogs to abandon restraint and enjoy life with sand in their toes and the smell of the salty air in their noses. And here is a wonderful video of a high energy dog making full use of that. Thank you for sharing this event with us. I hope you’ll share many more!
We let one of ours off on Hunstanton Beach (Norfolk) after we’d had him for about a year, he took off after some Gulls nearby then came back, 2mins later took off after the same…only didn’t stop! The only reason I knew he was ok were the flocks of birds rising up into the sky that I could see literally on the horizon!! So I set off on the long walk to attempt to retrieve him…10 minutes later he came back, still running with tail wagging mischievously…& very out of breath. He had a drink, ambled around for 5 minutes then set off again, only he didn’t go quite so far, & he was a good boy ever since (although sadly he passed away earlier this year aged only 10…but I smile every time I remember that incident!)❤😂😊
It reminds me of my hound’s first trip to the beach in Cornwall. He loved it and we have some great pictures from the day. He’s 12 now and has dementia so won’t be going to the beach again. When I see him dreaming, I like to think that he’s reliving some of our lovely days together like that.
When I first took my dogs to the beach they loved it but I forgot water. Now that is the first thing I think of because they get so thirsty. She was enjoying herself very much love to watch her run thanks for sharing.
She was for sure coming back to ask for water
What a beautiful animal! Her gate is not only incredible but elegant as well. It so wonderful to see she is having an incredible retirement with a loving family. So many of the dogs do not survive being racing dogs. I wish many more years of shear happiness and health to Fairy.
You are such a good puppy Mom, you can just see how she loves you. She will come back to her Mom. Rescues always know who their people are! Look at her run! Thank you for giving her a new special life. This is so good for her to run like the wind ❤❤❤❤
PS. She LOVES the beach!!
Did you bring water for her?
My Wife and I enjoyed your video and so did our dog, she watched intently and barked occasionally , the dog that is.
She’s like…I don’t know what this place is but I LOVE it! Haha
The happiest of sights - your dog running free and then running back to you.
Pure joy !!! Thank you for sharing this with us. My neighbor once had a retired racing dog and he was a sweetheart. Watching them run is a thing of beauty. And.... as you said..... seeing them live a life as a regular dog and enjoying life with their human family !!! For next time, a bowl of fresh water would be great. After those runs, she needs water..... but not the salty ocean water. A jug of water and a bowl would be nice.....
This was a beautiful thing to watch. Always bring water with you so she doesn't drink the salt water. I bet she dreamed that night!!!
She looks like she is finally having a awesome day doing what she was bred for, but no stress as to meet any expectations from anyone.
She runs like a cheetah. She was made for it! She’ll always come back. Let her let loose sometimes! It brings me joy to watch this. Thanks for sharing!❤
If a dog feels loved, cared for, and able to do their "job," they'll always come back. Fairy was bred to run, so running is her job. Great to see you letting her "do her thing." She looks happy. Good job!
How wonderful it was to see Fairy enjoying the beach! Her true happiness was contagious!❤
Beautiful sight her running free. Please take water with you next time. Drinking too much salt water can be fatal for her.
I adopted a ex racing greyhound. One day he took off after the rabbits in the fields. Took me 2 hours to find him. He had ran 12 miles from the house, he was covered in mud but sure was a happy boy.
