The Hare Has Run Its Course For Frank

News from the UK. The world of greyhound racing was in mourning this week as one of the sport's icons bowed to the inevitable, and called it a day. Frank PR, owners and godfathers of Flying Frank broke the news earlier this week from their London HQ, and The Sun broke the exclusive.

Under the guidance of trainer John Coleman at the Calverbury Kennels in Essex, 'The Flyer' built a solid reputation on the dog track. He could never shake off a troublesome shoulder injury though, and with that, Frank had chased his last hare.

Frank's achievements on the track were miniscule compared with his efforts off it. Flying Frank was a giant amongst greyhounds - his tireless work to secure the long term future of Walthamstow dog track capturing the attention of celebrities and national media.

Flying Frank attracted celebrities of the highest profile (within a 500mile radious of London), such as Brian Lara, Frank Lampard and Ms Dynamite. None of them were available for comment. All of them are gutted.

Flyer - keep on running son. Don't stop til you catch that final hare.
