Quoted from Coindork:

I have two retired racing greyhounds.
Now keep in mind that these dogs were trained to chase rabbits from a very early age. Both of my dogs were class A race dogs and both ran over 200 races each before they were retired and we adopted them.
We’re on 5 acres and it’s rather rural here with deer, rabbits, quail etc.
Shortly after we adopted them 4 or so years ago I let them out in the morning and went to get my morning coffee.
A few minutes later my wife came up to me and says “Hopper is chewing on something furry”. So, I grabbed my coffee and went outside to look. Sure enough, he had caught himself a rabbit.
My wife said “take it away from him before he eats it. I replied “I can’t do that”. She said why not? I said “listed, this guy has raced his entire life and ran in 100s of races trying to catch a rabbit”. You can’t just take it away from him when he spent his entire life leading up to this moment. Who knows what kind of message that would send him or the Psychological repercussions.
He was soooooo proud of himself and I let him bask in his glory for a bit while I pet him telling him what a great dog he is.
After about 10 or so minutes of that I took him inside, gave him a bunch of treats and laid down on the floor with him petting him telling him what a good dog he is.
About a half hour later I went outside and chucked the rabbit over the fence for the coyotes. He went out there about 20 minutes later looking for it and was bummed he couldn’t find it. I wound up taking the day off work and hung out with him the rest of the day.
