Michael Kunzelman reports that greyhounds are dying of an unidentified infection and tracks are having to shut down while fighting the spread of the disease.
One vet thinks it may be a version of "kennel cough", a common dog disease like a human cold.

By the way, they make great adoptees after their racing days are over. If you are interested, here are a few of the many organizations out there that can give you information.
