Summary

Pathe synopsis: The expression "going to the dogs" is going to take on a slightly different meaning if Mrs Jean Briggs, of New Cross, London, has her way. Instead of using greyounds, Mrs Briggs is training Afghan hounds to see if they are sufficiently fast to become a rival attraction - we stress rival because the two breeds will not be allowed to race against each other.
