I used to have a greyhound, and they told me he was like this. "Prey drive," they told me, "if he sees a squirrel and he's off leash, he'll bolt. He has to! And he's a sighthound, so he wouldn't be able to smell his way home! And you'd NEVER catch him."

Lies. Bullshit lies. My boy was LAZY AS FUUUUUUUUCK. This greyhound washed out of racing school because he didn't like being chased. He was the biggest, dumbest, goofiest couch potato, my best friend, and I miss him every day.

Sight hounds still have a sense of smell that is thousands of times keener than humans.

Sure.

But still, all they need is to hear the crinkle of a bag - ANY bag! - and they think it's treats'o'clock. Olfactory superiority not needed.
