In 2005 and 2006 as I
negotiated the deal to remove the racing greyhounds from Juarez back to the US,
several people were assisting from beginning. Two of those people were Pat
& Alan Roberts. The owner of the track told me he would not release the
greyhounds to me after previously telling me he would. I looked him in the
eye, told him he was not an honorable man, turned my back to him and walked
out. At my side were Pat, Alan, and Noreen Reid and as we walked side by side
out of the building we expected at any moment to hear gun fire. Pat, Alan and
Noreen where very courageous in going with me that evening and then walking side by side with me after my negotiations
failed, fully knowing the track owner was very angry with me.
Thankfully in 2006 the
greyhounds of Juarez were returned to the US and adopted into forever homes.
Pat and Alan Roberts
never turned away from helping a greyhound. If you can find it in your heart if
you can join me again in walking side by side with Pat and Alan as it is
now these two individuals that need our help.
