DOG NUMBER 3

(Speed Universe)

By: Yi-Lay Zahn

Grade 6 Student

March 6, 1998

White DogMy name is Speed Universe. I am a dog that races; I am a greyhound. I have brown spots over my coat of white fur. I have tons of friends here at the Macau Racing Tracks. All my friends are greyhounds, also. They only allow greyhounds to race here in Macau. I wish they allowed other dogs to race. The hosts of the dog racing made this rabbit that runs around the track. The tracks are all different lengths. I normally race the three hundred and sixty-yard race. But I also race other races. I excel in the 360-yard race, though.

When I race I just follow the rabbit. I have no idea how they make us follow it but they do. I race against about twelve other dogs. I normally am number three unless I get hurt or something happens like that. When I do get injured I go to the swimming pool. It is water that is around an island and the man walks around the island and I have to swim. It is sort of unfair.

There is also a part at the track where they weigh dogs. I am a male dog so I get put in the cage to the left. The dogs that race have to be within a two-pound range. I like racing dogs that weigh less than me. It gives me an advantage.

The place where I am kept is a cage in a building that has two floors. There are cages on both floors. There are more than sixty dogs in one of the houses and more than two hundred dogs in all the houses.

Anyway, back at the races... I race all the time. I train alone and sometimes against other dogs. There are four races in one night about four nights a week. Sometimes there aren't a lot many people in the stadium but at other times, there are tons! I like it when the people bet on me because it gives me confidence and it makes me want to win!

I’ve got to go and race now. I better go. YOU CAN BET ON ME!
