The rodeo had a segment that was an exhibit of dog races with galgos, or South American greyhounds. They look just like greyhounds we have, but they are called galgos.These photos are BAD, but it was now dark, so if you guys don't like them, feel free to buy me another camera.
The big blonde guy wanted to win his race, but he was just too slow, but the others were extremely fast. The farmers use these dogs as sport between themselves, or as hunters. They all seemed to be well taken care of, and the owners were petting them. But a typical Chilean dog doesn't have much status in a household, so they are just as good and cared for as their finish in the last race. Sad, but true. There are literally THOUSANDS of stray dogs on the streets, so these, even if they were workers, we a few of the lucky ones.
