'When Ben befriends an older boy called Craig, whose father races greyhounds, he is invited to come and see one of their dogs compete. Cassie is much less enthusiastic about greyhound racing, and Ben can't understand why.
'But when a greyhound is brought to the RSPCA shelter having been abandoned, Ben realises that in the world of racing dogs, the greyhounds are never the real winners.'
