Shepparton Greyhound Racing Club

Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (09:54): On Saturday 18 May I was delighted to attend the Shepparton Greyhound Racing Club’s Dog of the Year awards, and what an excellent night it was. The love and compassion these people have for their dogs was well and truly on display. We heard the story of the track record setting dog Rejuvenate, who is now loving life as a couch potato, with cuddles and love from his owners, after breaking his hock. We were entertained with stories of bygone football days from Carlton legend David Rhys-Jones and laughed until we cried with comedian Marty Fields. I want to congratulate the Shepparton Greyhound Racing Club on a fantastic evening. This club is a testament to the greatness a community can achieve when everyone pitches in and works together. Thank you, Brad, Carl, Tracey and Simone, for putting on a brilliant evening, and I cannot wait to be back.
