I would like everyone to meet Allen.
He’s a retired greyhound racing dog. And he’s absurdly tall. And he’s absurdly friendly.Lauren & I met Allen at the Huntsville Dog Park this weekend when we took Rigley to get some social interaction. Too bad Rigley is completely indifferent to other dogs, and rather than playing with them in the park, he made friends with all the other people there. Oh Rigley.
But Allen. Oh Allen. Allen has a special talent. He has a talent to find idle hands & find a use for them. Such as using them to pet him. And since he’s so freakishly tall, he could walk right up to you, lean against your leg & your hand would be at the perfect level to pat his side while it hung there unused.
Another trick of Allen’s was to squeeze in-between people. And, well, there wasn’t actually much squeezing, because the dog’s so skinny, that even when Lauren & I were standing barely a foot apart, he would just meander on up and amble in-between us in order to position himself just so by leaning against one of our legs & silently demand a good rub down.
Smart dog that Allen. Smart dog.
