Indy’s life changed when he adopted a timid greyhound named Georgie. She helped him to better understand himself and his past, growing up as a shy kid in rough part of town. So, when Indy notices signs of Georgie’s previous neglect, he is compelled to learn more about her former life in the greyhound racing industry.
Indy speaks to trainers and punters who relay greyhound racing’s proud culture, operations and profits, however, rescue organisations and an apprehensive industry insider reveal a flip side to the story: an industry with ongoing animal welfare issues, currently at risk of being shut down.
He meets with vested politicians from opposing factions, who weigh the sport’s financial and cultural benefits against social and moral costs, and also discuss legislative implications.
Fellow dog-lovers and celebrities impart their personal connections to greyhounds, which forces Indy to confront his conflicted past. As he ponders this and his kindred bond with Georgie, he is able to understand and overcome a big life hurdle.
Indy reunites with Georgie to reflect on his journey and the complex nature of greyhounds, greyhound racing, and our relationship to dogs.
