Introduction to the Pet of the Day: Italian Greyhound
The Italian Greyhound is also called Italian Lingti and is produced in Italy. This dog was the smallest hunting dog in the past, mostly using it to hunt rabbits and pheasants, and because of its small and cute, it gradually became a family play dog. The highest worshipper of the Italian Lingti was King Frederick II of Prussia, who built tombs for all the dead Italian Lingti and buried himself in the Italian Lingti Tomb. The famous novelist Paulo Dupresis was also buried with his Italian Lingti at the time of his death. It can be seen what kind of status the Italian Lingti is. This dog has many enthusiasts in the United States and Europe, and it has not faded to this day.

The skeleton of the greyhound has also been found in the ruins of Pompeii, and a mummy of a dog with a similar image has been found in the coffins of ancient Egypt. The Italian Lingti, which was widely loved by people, especially the nobles, in medieval Europe, was bred as a play dog.
