How are dogs so trusting in the world we live in?

I've had two retired racing greyhounds and know several more, they're lovely dogs or rather hounds, there is a difference between a hound and a dog. Reading things like this sicken me, despite everything The Retired Greyhound Trust does to get retiring dogs into rescue and rehoming these things still happen. I'm so happy this hound's story has a happy ending, some dogs never really learn to trust fully again, they maybe OK with thier new family, but wary around others.

My two boys lived a happy and comfortable retirement and died at ripe old ages loved and still missed. If anyone is thinking of rehoming a dog, I'd thoroughly recommend a retired greyhound, they're quite patient, lazy and thieving. They're 40mph couch potatoes, 20 mins exercise twice a day is the minimum requirement, some like to walk for longer, sometimes just at the weekend, a bit like us, they'll not endurance dogs, but sprinters, so you'll get complaints if you try and take them for a 10 mile hike. Bins and food left out are rarely safe from them and what they'll eat is quite astonishing, my old Dogglet really liked a curry, rice, dhal, a spicy aubergene curry and mint raita to go with it. They can be incredibly patient with other animals and small humans, not all of them obviously, but when our cat Boris was a kitten he's sleep with the dogs and then took to using thier willies as cushions, the dogs were alarmed by this and started crossing thier legs when they saw him coming.

I used to have a lurcher called Dylan he was 6 months old when we got him. He was a big boy and a solid dog. We lost him last year to Alabama rot which is a an extremely nasty infection dogs get. Antibiotic resistant and only 10% of dogs survive it. He was 12 when we lost him. He was a very lazy dog and used to lie on his back legs in the air exposing himself no a care in the world. It’s only Lucy I have left now the Dalmatian in my profile picture and she getting on in age but still has life in her.
