Dyer's greyhound I thought dogs were supposed to look like their owners, not act like them. A greyhound named Shearer has become the fastest on the planet with a kick-start from Craig Bellamy… Jet-heeled Newcastle United striker Bellamy owns a one-third share in Droopys Shearer, the 1-5 favourite that covered 480 metres at Brough Park in just 27.90 seconds. Bellamy is far from the only footballer to invest cash in a greyhound. Ted explained: "Mark Crossley (ex-Boro goalkeeper) owns a few and Lee Clark (ex-Sunderland and Newcastle) owns Jack The Lad, an unraced puppy named after his son. Kieron Dyer also had one called `Dyer's Rocket' but it broke its leg and never came back." http://icnewcastle.icnetwork.co.uk/...fm?objectid=14390176&method=full&siteid=50081
