Gone to the racing dogs


Dog racing is still very popular in Ireland. This documentary looks at the enthusiastic side of betting, the art of breeding and what happens with the racers once they are too old to run any longer. Many of the old Greyhounds are brought abroad for re-homing. Pro Animale is an organisation that is based in Germany and Ireland what takes care of old or homeless animals. The documentary takes you to the Greyhound sanctuary Avalon in Woodford into the big farming house that is only occupied by jumping and barking dogs which are going to stay there until the end of their life.
