Aloof and Alert

Here is my Maxy, an Italian Greyhound, who is always standing aloof watching from high up, his eyes scanning into the distance, alert all the time. When I arrive home he hands over the home's security detail over to me and retires to his basket after a day's job well done. All four of my dogs, three Italian Greyhounds and one Whippet are now curled up in their basket getting some good shuteye. You know greyhounds have only too speeds, flat out or lounging on the sofa but Maxy has always been consistently aloof and alert. I suppose we need more lerts in the world, now a loof is another story.
