As it stands now, historically, we know that the Egyptians had depictions of dogs very like salukis as far back as 3000 years, and most famously on the incredible gold ostrich fan found in King Tut's tomb. Also, there are seals from Mesopotamia, used by the Sumerians that also depict hunting dogs very like the saluki from as far back as 3000 B.C. Interested saluki enthusiasts and academics have been doing scholarly work on this since the 70's. It IS very interesting to wonder which ancient civilization gave us such a treasure, and heaven bless the Bedouin for preserving them into the 20th century.

Secretly taken video that was shown on tv of horses corralled in the slaughter yard that included retired race horses, even well known race winners, perfectly healthy horses that should have been retired to pasture but instead became dog food. They could identify the horses from markings and tattooed numbers visible in the video. The issue there is that the race trainers often sell the retired horses in good faith but then from that point on there’s no responsibility for their retirement care so the new owner can send them to slaughter for no good reason other than they don’t want to pay to maintain them as retired animals. I think the government has now put in place a system where the trainer must be responsible until the horses natural end of life regardless of who they are sold to or resold to.

Many are 'donated' to greyhound rescue groups .... that's where I adopted mine from. Super sweet!🐾❤

[@aussie8114]

@@redsloane879 They make great pets. Some people think because they are seen on tv wearing muzzles that they are bad doggies, but that is totally wrong. They are very sweet fur babies 🐶 They do like to chase things though.

[@bjimmy2796]

Such a beautiful dog. What makes them unique compared to the greyhound is they can do this for miles and miles in breath taking temps. The greyhound is short bursts the luski is the David goggens of dogs.

"Fastest land animal on the planet" Cheetah: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@sirdook2761]

He's talking speed over distance. Cheetahs can't hold their top speed for long. That dog did it for 3 kilometers under the scorching heat of the desert.

That dog is absolutely beautiful. Almost like a Greyhound, but like a Greyhound Pro+ version

Fastest land predator on Earth?!? What about the cheetah? Don't they get up to 80 mph?

[@محمدالامريكي-ج9م]

He said in a 3 mile stretch. Cheetahs get tired fast.

[@cobaltcanarycherry]

Nothing can match a saluki over 2 miles. Greyhounds and whippets are sprinters, borzoi can go long but are not as fast.

[@redsloane879]

Yes, cheetahs are good for short, fast runs.

So she didn’t catch a gazelle… I want my money back

Gazelle there are endangered and protected now.

[@Iamrightyouarewrong]

Faster then a cheetah?

[@furzekake1]

the cheetah has a higher top speed but it is a sprinter. this dog can maintain the speed for a much longer time making it faster on average at a greater distance.

[@dmathmothtutinean8950]

I knew it: one cheetah out of every…….. ohhhh….. 2 million can run at top speed for about 1.25 kilometres. By the time you get them to 3 kilometres, they are over in the shade drinking a tonic and water. There are no cheetah distance runners but they will jog or walk that far.
