I have received 3 copies of this book and find it simple and delightful...the illustrations are fun.....my copies are going to young family members in New Zealand.....Any effort that helps people realize what beautiful creatures greyhounds are is to be applauded. More power to you Jason...looking forward to your next effort.

Talking to Jason last week, I think he is planning to put thm on eBay. Meanwhile you can get them from us using PayPal if you want to - Jason has generously given us a wholesale price, so we can put some of the proceeds into rehoming.

Hello To everyone. Had a Book reading today of Kane goes to the beach at the Broken Hill Libary and I was so Happy with the response, The Children really enjoyed it as did the Parents and Grand Parents. The children were educated about the true nature of Greyhounds and asked questions and The whole time was just such a positive experience. The Local TV station came and conducted an Interview with me and gave nearly a minute on the news tonight. The Best part came at the end of the book reading today when a young boy about 9 years old came and asked me if he could shake my Hand, I was so Humbled and gob Smacked that this young Lad liked the book that much that he took the time to thank me. A very rewarding Day and the positive feedback is still coming in and The most Important thing is that the right message is being sent to the children "That Greyhounds are just the most Loving ,Caring Dogs and make wonderful Pets"
Please if you are interested in a Copy please contact me at [email protected]
Thankyou Regards Jason
