Adopting a human—a user guide for greyhounds.
“I have made them see thy majesty as a Southern Greyhound, Swift-footed, and stealthy-going, who roves the two lands.”
—Hymn of praise for Tutmose III, 1447 B.C.
“I wish I had a custom user guide for my new humans”
Genji: “My transition from racing to pethood has been quite a journey—I wish I had a custom user guide for my new humans as they are quite different from what I was used to. They obviously need a lot of supervision and training. Therefore, I’ve made a habit of sticking my nose into everyone’s affairs and thought it would be a great idea to create this customisable user guide for my fellow greyhounds and their adoptees.
Hopefully, you’ll find it as useful as I have!”
Book content
The user guide consists of 56 pages including several sections, designed for your new humans to complete as they get to know you better:
MY DETAILS
Get your humans to jot down all your details ranging from your microchip number to instructions provided by the respective rescue organisation.
CONTACTS
Important contacts, including emergency vet, hound sitters, etc.
MEETING AND TRAINING YOUR HUMANS
This section includes milestones and routines to stay on top of your humans’ training.
MEDICAL INFORMATION
On these pages your humans can fill in a scar and injuries map, keep track of your vaccinations as well as flea, ticks & worm treatment and your medical history in general.
UNDERSTANDING ME
A bit of basic houndology (ear and tail positions), a petting map and a section about your quirks.
LOOKING AFTER ME
Your grooming schedule
KEEPING ME HEALTHY
A section dedicated to my favourite pastime, food! This also happens to be a favourite pastime of your new humans who will become obsessed with your nutritional needs.
