My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Good Day to you! My name is Bono. They named me for the mega star Bono who is a musician and does amazing charatible work. He heard about me and said, "Hey, let's name you Bono cause you are a standout pal!" Wasn't that wonderful that he took such an interest in me.

Like so many beautiful (handsome in my case) animals, I came into Ahimsa as a stray. Why people don't put collars and tags on us or get us microchipped I will never understand. I could have found my family!!! Nutso I tell ya.

I am a great boy and about a year old. I love all dogs and especially these Ahimsa Angels. They are so good to us. When we come into the rescue we get the once over. They give us lovings every single day and lots of good food and a very nice bed to lay in. Sorta like the Four Seasons!

Dog Breeds
Whippets are lean, muscular speed machines who have an almost split personality. At home, adult Whippets are quiet and docile animals who are quite content to curl up on the couch all day long. But when you get a Whippet out into the yard, they come alive and appear to have enough energy to power six dogs twice their size.

The Whippet developed in England in the 19th century and originally was bred to compete in rabbit-luring exhibitions. It quickly became a companion animal and utility dog for the working class. Miners in the north of England, and other commoners, could not afford to own the large sighthounds favored by royalty and gentry of the time. It is believed that they created their own “miniature greyhounds” to participate in the rabbit-killing contests that were then so popular, and that they called this dog the Whippet.

So there you have it in a nutshell, aren't I special Just imagine, Bono lent me his name. So please fill out the application and ask for Bono. You won't be disappointed. Love and big old kisses, Mmmmmwaaahhhhhhh Bono
