I know it's only fiction but surely that trainer could have given Celia a call before taking that lovely brindle dog to a field with his shotgun

On a more serious note, maybe some coverage of the plight of unwanted racing greyhounds will help with the rehoming.

The guy that took the group's photo at Dysart Harbour on the last walk has it up on flickr- (search Greyhound Rescue Fife). He's written a very informative blurb to go with it spreading the plight of greyhounds and work of GRF.
A lot of people just don't realise the story of the dogs no longer racing.
