Rowling adopts a greyhound

Wow! I never expected this! The Herald (Glasgow) is reporting that author J.K. Rowling has adopted a 4-year-old retired racing greyhound. In an interview, kennel owner Celia Fernie says...

At the bottom of a cheque for £1000 was the signature millions of Harry Potter fans would die for. "When I looked at the cheque I couldn't believe it. The first thing I noticed was the amount she had made it out for," Mrs Fernie said yesterday.

I ran to tell my greyhound Arrow the news, but since I disturbed his nap (and it wasn't walktime) he wasn't very interested.
