"ViVi a whippet showdog"
ViVi a whippet showdog lost by delta airlines has been missing for 10 months. A few days ago she was spotted and looking very thin and sickly. Please pray that she is found and returned to her owners.I'm on a number of dog rescue lists and sight hound lists. There are almost daily reports of dogs thought to be ViVi, however, most prove to be false sightings. I'm including the official blog from the Whippet breed club that reports on ViVi. The official search has been called off and the last official post was November 6th. Here is the URL for the blog:Sight hounds are very resourceful dogs and I feel in my heart of hearts ViVi is still alive and hunting for her food. These dogs are FAST and can run down prey very quickly, so she can feed herself. Prayers on behalf of ViVi are very welcome.Here is a fun, family friendly, video of sight hound lure coursing. You can see how fast they are and the pure joy they get in running.I'm not one of those people who elevate animals to human status. But dogs are such a great blessing from God. They are so loyal and just want to please us. My dogs have gotten me though some very dark times in my life and I am grateful to God for them.LoniCo-founder & Secretary
