Greyhound

Greyhounds are quiet roommates who happen to be built like aerospace projects. They’ll spend 23 hours a day on your couch in a elegant heap, then sprint at full speed for 30 seconds and return to their nap. Independent and unimpressed by most of your ideas, they’re content to ignore you while looking impossibly noble doing it.
