Maddog McDermutt and Little Elsie tour Iowa Greyhound farms for a unique view of an integral part of Iowa economics and animal husbandry. The title has three themes: (1) the nagging question with varied answers regarding the evolution of the Greyhound, from the folks on the farms and from the trainers at the tracks, the folks who day in and day out work with these dogs, and the adoption folks who know these dogs as the retired athletes and devoted friends that they are; (2) the impact Greyhounds have made on the Iowa economy through the state's two race tracks and Iowa's Department of Agriculture; and (3) is it true that every Iowa Greyhound farm has a non-Greyhound administrator?
