BIOGRAPHY OF GRAND MARSHALS AND PUPS:

Our Grand Marshals will be David and Anna Brohawn and their

two pups Neco and Luigi, both Italian Greyhounds, the smallest of the sighthounds.  These dogs are super fast, can run at top speeds of up to 25 mph, and, coupled with their high prey drive, means, if one got loose, good luck catching them.  
They got Neco at just 8 weeks of age from Hailsville, Missouri, weighing just 2 lbs and he has completely taken over the Brohawn household from day #1.  After 3 years of being an only pup, they decided to get a companion for him and learned of Italian Greyhound rescue organizations, which is how Luigi Giuseppe found David and Anna.  Luigi came from a phenomenal group called Healing Hearts Italian Greyhound Rescue, and, as a way of giving back to this group and others for placing these precious pups in loving homes, both David and Anna volunteer for Mid Atlantic IG Rescue.  Neco just turned 7 on April 2, and celebrated with his biological brother Amico Glessner, who resides with his ‘pawrents’, Jack and Patti Glessner.  Luigi will celebrate his 7th birthday on Independence Day.  These dogs have brought long lasting friendships with other IG owners, as the pups get together throughout the year for play dates ranging from beach days to camping outings to the annual St Patrick’s Day Parade in Annapolis.  Anna and Dave find it hard to leave them to go to work, but it’s a joyous reunion when they return home in the late afternoon.  In addition to the two pups, they enjoy special times with their two grandsons, Hudson and Hanson, who are 7 and 2, respectively.  David works in sales for Tri-Gas & Oil and Anna works for Talbot Co Public Schools as a middle school science teacher.
