Collingwood coach Craig McRae launched National Greyhound Adoption Month live on channel 7’s Sunrise this morning.

McRae and retired greyhound Sparno braved the early morning to talk all things Collingwood and greyhounds.

A racing man, McRae was introduced to the sport of greyhound racing through a friend who gifted him a share in the Jason Thompson trained Reaper.

Reaper is only at the start of his career, but McRae’s kids are already making space of him on their family couch when retirement comes.
