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.'

5Leo races to your heart  Sep 24, 2008
This is a heartwarming, funny and suspense-filled novel about a greyhound who lights up like a Christmas tree when his world is in order, and frets like there's no tomorrow when it's not. So subtly does Cindy Victor blend fantasy with the real facts of canine and human life, I found myself thinking of Leo as a real flesh-and-fur dog. Now, more than ever before, I look at my wolfhound and wonder how much he knows about me and what he's thinking. A laugh-out-loud story you're sure to love.

5Man's Best Friend  Jan 23, 2007
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!

4Leo-A Greyhounds Tale  Sep 17, 2006
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.

5Leo! The dog with a tale to tell  Apr 23, 2004
Leo - A Greyhound's Tale is a suspenseful and heart-warming story for adults and kids ages eight and up. The story of Leo's life as a retired racing Greyhound is told in his own words. By the end of the tale Leo has found happiness for himself and, by becoming a matchmaker, brought happiness to the people he loves. This is a humorous, well-written story that will be enjoyed by all dog lovers. It may even make you think about adopting a Greyhound! It did me!

A lover of dogs, cats, gardening and good wine.
