Read the passage and answer the following questions:
Greyhound racing is the sixth most popular spectator sport in the United States. Over the last decade, A growing number of racers have been adopted to spend their retirement as household pets, once their racing careers are over. Many people hesitate to adopt A retired racing greyhound because they think only very old-dogs are available. Actually, even champion racers only work until they are about three- and A half years old. Because greyhounds usually live to be 12 to 15 years old, their retirement is much longer and active than other breeds and will need A large space to run. These are a false impression. Greyhounds have naturally sweet, mild dispositions, and while they love to run they are sprinters rather than distance runners and are sufficiently exercised with A few daily laps around A fenced –in- backyard. Greyhounds do not make good watchdogs, but they are very good with children to get along well with other dogs (and usually cats as well) and are affectionate and loyal. They are intelligent, well- behaved dogs, usually housebroken in only A few days. A retired racing greyhound is a wonderful pet for almost anyone.
