Greyhound in running to be top dog despite failed drug tests

A champion greyhound, which failed three drugs tests last year, is in the running for the industry’s top dog award.

Clonbrien Hero has been shortlisted alongside Derby winner, Good News, and Jaytee Yankee, for the prestigious Dog of the Year title at the Irish Greyhound Board’s Annual Awards 2017.

It comes despite an ongoing disciplinary hearing process in relation to its failed drug tests.
