NAME: Patrick
OWNER: Dennis and Carole Gaines
HOW THEY MET: My owners came to visit my brothers, sisters, and I because they wanted a greyhound. When they said, “Puppies puppies puppies!” I jumped right into their arms!
AGE: 11
HOME: Elkridge
BREED: Greyhound
BEST TRICK: If you tell Patrick to “shake,” he’ll offer you his paw. He also knows exactly where he is and he’s not allowed to pee in the neighborhood during walks.
FAVORITE ACTIVITY: Sleeping, walking, and watching the family eat — banking on getting the last bite from Dad.
FAVORITE FOOD: Pumpkin. He also likes yogurt and carrots
FUNNIEST MOMENT: If he wants his “sister” to go for a walk with him, he’ll walk behind her and surround her with his leash so she has no choice but to come along.
IF PATRICK HAD A MOTTO FOR LIFE, IT WOULD BE: ‘Grey’t things come in skinny packages!
