A greyhound dog, especially one with gray coloring in its coat, or an archaic spelling variant of greyhound.
Variant spelling of greyhound, where gray replaces the standard spelling grey. The original greyhound name may come from Old English, though the exact origin is debated—possibly from 'Greyg' (an old word for dog) or the dog's color.
