greyhound

Once a sport that packed out stadiums across the country, greyhound racing is facing extinction in Scotland.

Government politicians needed the help of one opposition MS - Dodds was won over after ministers promised a ban on greyhound racing and £1 bus fares for under-21s.

A man who adopted a greyhound that lost a leg while racing believes the "cradle to grave" attitude towards the breed must change.

It means the Welsh government's £26bn spending plans for the NHS, education and other public services will pass in the Senedd next month, and includes a ban on greyhound racing and cash for local councils.

But it was a surprise that a ban on greyhound racing - announced by the Welsh government earlier this week - could be part of the deal.
