(4) 4-6 After Josh finds an abandoned warehouse filled with dead and dying greyhounds, he adopts one of the survivors. Josh longs to race Ratzo again, until he discovers how inhumane racing can be. Instead, he and Ratzo run in a community race. Although the villains are fairly flat and the story has perhaps too many threads, the tension is high as Josh discovers Ratzo's--and his own--strengths.
