Brooklyn Goes Home: The Rise and Fall of American Greyhound Racing and the Dog that Inspired a Movement, with foreword by Dr. Jane Goodall

Brooklyn Goes Home is the true story of how one greyhound sparked a movement to close the worst dog track in the world. After spending eight years in a dirty concrete cell at the Canidrome in Macau, a beautiful white and brown-speckled hound named Brooklyn emerged to symbolize the fight to end dog racing in the United States and all across the globe. Authors Christine Dorchak and Carey Theil write, “Our sweet boy spent years on death row, yet he held no grudges. Instead, he met each day with joy, always greeting everyone he encountered with a happy wag of his tail and a big smile. He taught us so much about true love and forgiveness.”

Brooklyn Goes Home is also the account of Dorchak and Theil’s twenty-five year campaign to end dog racing, which has helped to save 50,000 greyhounds to date and culminated in the recent filing of the US Greyhound Protection by their non-profit organization GREY2K USA Worldwide. If you love dogs, read this stunning memoir about their political work as inspired by the international rescue of one very special hound.

We hope that readers will find inspiration in their chronicle, and perhaps discover their own paths for making positive change in the world.
