Definition of a greyhound:
It is a gentle and intelligent breed whose combination of long, powerful legs, deep chest, flexible spine and slim build allows it to reach average race speeds in excess of 64 kilometres per hour (40 mph). Please tell me which bit fits. Last time you reached 64 kilometres was leaving a pub when your turn to pay. It's the slim build that gives the game away .

OK you may have a point.

Just be happy with the 'gentle and intelligent' bit ....
