AUSSIE GREYHOUNDS OFF TO AMERICA

IN a historic partnership, retired Australian greyhounds will be sent to the United States to serve as companion animals for law enforcement officers. 
 
The Pacific Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Greyhounds Australasia, Greyhound Racing NSW, and the US Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). 
 
The FOP, with over 367,000 members across 3,000 lodges nationwide, aims to provide greyhounds as PTSD dogs and pets for its officers. 
 
The initiative is inspired by successful programs in Australia with the Australian Federal Police Association and Police Association of NSW. 
 
The partnership is seen as a merging of human and animal welfare, providing comfort to officers exposed to traumatic incidents. The initiative has attracted widespread support in the Australian greyhound industry.
