Greyhound owners gather Sunday at Range Pond State Park during the Great Global Greyhound Walk in Poland. Organizer Sarah Leonetti of Westbrook says greyhound owners across the globe gather in various locations Sunday to show how greyhounds are great dogs and to discredit misconceptions about the breed. “They all came off the track,” Leonetti says. Some people believe greyhounds who race have been mistreated, but members of Friends of Maine Greyhound Placement say they disagree. Daryn Slover/Sun Journal
