Little Bart (Know Truth) was a awesome racer. Bred by Rangiora trainer Gary Cleeve, Bart certainly made his mark at the track.
After retirement, he was adopted by the Lambert family from Waikanae recently. We just got an update from them:

Bart has settled in really well, he's lovely, cuddly and cheeky so fits in here well :) He loves going for walks, knows all the houses where dogs and cats live, but stays close to us and listens well.

Bart has adjusted well to living with three young boys, (although the drum kit took a a few days to get used to) and is now following the boys out to the garden much to their delight.

 

We love his mischievous ways, the standing on the back of the couch when we are not home to keep watch for our return, the brief attempt at trying to take over our 5 yr olds bed by jumping on and literally trying to push him out, the attempts to steal any food that takes his fancy - even while someone is eating it! Bart is a quick learner as to what is acceptable though, but he keeps us on our toes by trying something 'new' to see what he can get away with.

He's a perfect fit to our family and we love him to bits!

 

The photos attached are a typical day for Bart, from the playing outside with the boys, having a four year old determined to lay down like Bart, to the numerous sleeping styles...and of course the keeping watch for our return!
Thank you so much all at GAP, you do such an awesome job!!

Beautiful red fawn boy Bart (Know Truth) recently arrived to GAP all the way from Rangiora :)
Our good friend and great GAP supporter, young greyhound trainer Ashley, worked with Bart while he was racing and she said this about him:

Bart is a big softy, he was definitely  was a favourite in the racing kennels. He’s a gentle dog who loves children,  a calm dog who gets along with everyone and doesn’t like to put a foot wrong.
BArt was a good racing dog too  - he had 86 starts and made over $30k in stakes.

Gorgeous nature and colour to match, how could you go wrong?

Ashley also sent me these photos, which she took while Bart was in his racing kennels:

Funny Bart :)
