Now this is a post we’re incredibly proud to share!

Some of you may remember Dino the Snorkasaurus, who found his forever home back in October. These days he’s is known as @lenny.longdog and we’re delighted to share some very exciting news.

Lenny has been beautifully painted by the incredibly talented @chloecoggin.art and the portrait has been selected for the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition – what an incredible achievement!

Chloe says it has been wonderful to see the amazing life Lenny now has after finding his forever home. Through this piece, she also hopes to shine a light on the thousands of greyhounds still waiting for a family of their own.

From rescue dog to gallery walls… we couldn’t be prouder.

Congratulations to Chloe! And here’s to finding many more happy endings for the greyhounds still waiting.

I’m still processing this one but I’m so excited to share that my artwork ‘Home Straight’ will be in this years Royal Academy Summer exhibition as a print.

Home Straight is a portrait of Lenny, a beloved, ex-racing greyhound who was rescued by my wonderful sister @phoebecoggin in October 2025.

In racing, the ‘home straight’ marks the final stretch before the finish line. For Lenny, it represents something different. Whilst he won many races throughout his career, this finish line was the most important- it led him home. Since being rescued, Lenny has shown gratitude in his own quiet way, discovering a life where he is safe, loved and respected. Through his story, the work aims to raise awareness of the many retired racing greyhounds still waiting for their own home straight.

Lenny, you have changed all of our lives! ❤️

📚💐🩵🐾OSBC x Lenny Longdog ~ BOOK RECS INSPIRED BY MY FRIEND’S RESCUE DOG🐾🩵💐📚

Last year, my friends Phoebe and Emmet fell head over heels in love with a five-year-old ex-racing greyhound from Ireland. His name is Lenny.

Even though he’d never lived inside with a family until now, he’s so full of love and just wants to snuggle at all times. He’s a very sweet boy full of personality, so naturally I was inspired to offer up some book recommendations in his honour!

You can follow along with his post-retirement life at @lenny.longdog 🩵 and you can find more angels like Lenny up for adoption at @kent_greyhound_rescue
