It is with a very heavy heart. We let you know another has earned her wings.
Ellie (Old Value)
May 8, 2013 - May 2, 2026
Mary Fratangalo at Going Home Greyhounds helped us get our 1st Greyhound from the Wheeling Race Track! After picking out a small female, which is why we went to the racetrack,
we renamed our beautiful girl dog “Ellie”, as her racing name just wasn’t going to work. Ellie was a very special dog. She made new friends every single day! While we would just be walking her, people would smile, tell us that they loved her “booty’s” (she had corns on her front paws & wore Pawz) They would point at her, stop, ask questions, talk about her for 5,10,15 minutes, stop and get out of their car and talk to us. Asking questions about her. Big burly guys in pick up trucks would stop, wind the window down, point at her & say”That’s a beautiful dog”. It never stopped. 🙂
She got along with everybody she met. The nicest dog we have ever had.
She is missed!
Now that she is over the Rainbow Bridge our memories of her being with us will never be forgotten! We are so grateful to Mary Fratangelo, Colleen Smith & the Greyhound community for helping us discover the wonderful world of retired racing Greyhounds. They’re the best.
Mike & Mary
