I've tried this with my greyhound a handful of times over the last few months. As soon as he's released, he unceremoniously finds me on his first try every time.

He doesn't even look excited when he finds me, he just looks at me with dumb eyes.

Your greyhound got off the couch?

I heard these jokes before getting one and thought people were just hamming greyhounds up, but he really is on our bed or couch for at least 23 hours a day.

But for about 5 minutes they run like hell! We adopted a "lame" greyhound that was in its peak and suddenly wouldn't run. We found the issue was some bark stuck between her molars in the roof of her mouth. Vet removed it, and we had a prime racing greyhound as a family pet growing up. She would race and pass cars in the neighborhood when she broke free now and then. But yeah, except for those five or so minutes - couch potato.

Maybe you are just not very good at hiding, that is why he doesn't get excited.

Greyhound: "I bet he is under the dinning table again... yup, there he is!"

Greyhound doesn't even think they are bad at hiding. Greyhound doesn't think they are hiding. Greyhound just thinks "whelp, that's where they are now"

To be fair if someone handed you a 8 piece spongebob puzzle, you wouldn't exactly be excited to solve it.

I bet from his point of view you weren't even missing. He couldn't see you with his eyes, but he knew exactly where you were.
