MIDGET,
A 55-POUND FEMALE, WAS CRUSHED TO DEATH DURING A RACE AT RAYNHAM/TAUNTON
GREYHOUND PARK IN JUNE 2000
"Midget," a small female greyhound was trampled and
died instantly at Raynham Greyhound Park in late June. The young
dog was in her maiden (introductory) race, when she got caught
between several other dogs. Injury and death are two perils that
often face racing greyhounds. Small dogs like Midget are frequently
placed in races with much larger dogs of the same grade. Most
track deaths go unreported by the media.
