Pharaoh Hounds, but I love all sighthounds.
Why? Because they are intelligent, independent, stubborn. They are always trying to outsmart you, out-think you, and outdo you. They have a very silly sense of humor and love to make you laugh. (The bitches are a bit more serious but will still be silly-though you better not tell anyone because they'll deny it!) I also love how they are very discerning with their approval of strangers. They prefer to ignore most people which makes their love and affection even more special.
I love how they move, how they can be so incredibly focused when hunting. And to watch them run is see poetry in motion-it's one of the most beautiful events ever.
In my opinion, watching a sighthound coursing or chasing prey is the epitome of life, embracing the moment.
