Leo: A Greyhound's Tale

Leo: A Greyhound’s Tale tells of a retired racing Greyhound who is adopted by a bankable film star married to a supermodel. The celebrity couple want him only for his fabulous looks. But Leo is deeply loved by their live-in housekeeper, Kim, who is putting herself through college. Leo is devastated when Kim is framed for a crime and fired after spurning her employer’s advances. Although a worrier by nature, Leo decides he will do anything--even risk his life by revealing his supercanine abilities--to be reunited with Kim. His quest seems as impossible as his old dream of being a champion racer. But with the help of a horseradish jar, a teddy bear, and a beat-up Olds and Chevy convertible, Leo not only finds a new home but becomes an accidental matchmaker. Animal writer and activist Kristin von Kreisler says, 'This novel about Leo, a talking Greyhound, has much to teach us about love and the small miracles that can set lives straight.'

5Man's Best Friend  Jan 23, 2007
By Charlie Chaps
Leo: A Greyhound's Tale is just that - a tale about an exquisite dog's trials and tribulations with shallow and selfish man that culminates in Leo connecting with compassionate and loving man. This story is for those of you that love your dogs and imagine what they would say if they could speak. Leo: A Greyhound's Tale delivers in this aspect and much more.
It is a thrilling adventure story told from Leo's point of view that will enthrall and titillate readers of all ages. It will reinforce anyone's attitude that dogs need and love man like no other four-legged animal ever has or will. Leo: A Greyhound's Tale is storytelling at its best!

5I Loved it...Leo: A Greyhound's Adventure!  Mar 15, 2004

I could not put this very witty, heartwarming book down until I had read it from cover to cover!! The story of Leo and his search for a loving home is told with a very humorous, delightful twist...thanks to the writing style of this extremely talented author. Previously unfamiliar with greyhounds, I enjoyed getting to know the personality of this charming and appealing breed of dog. I truly hope more adventures of this enchanting dog will follow!

5the best leo  Feb 22, 2004
By Samantha
I loved this book so much, that I am doing a school report on the auther(Cindy Victor). The first time I read it I laughed, I cried, and even got to a point where I couldn't put it down. I would like to thank Mrs. Victor for bringing such a touching story into the world.

4Leo-A Greyhounds Tale  Sep 17, 2006
By Mary Jo
Cindy has captured the nature of the greyhound in this book. I read Leo from cover to cover when I first received it and I am reading it again! A delightful love story, which makes you root for Leo and his humans, through their trials and tribulations. In the end, Leo gets the happy ending he deserves.
