We wanted to commemorate the decision by voters to end Greyhound racing in Florida, with a fun spread featuring a retired racer. Karma previously graced the cover of The New Barker several year’s ago after her humans made a generous donation to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. We commissioned her portrait by St. Petersburg artist Carrie Jadus for a 2016 cover. Greyhounds are Sighthounds, and


once focused onto something like a squirrel, can take off at a high speed. For the most part, though, they just love lounging around and don’t require much space. They are affectionately known as 45 mile-per-hour couch potatoes. Porsche of Tampa at Reeves Import


Motorcars, with the Gulf Coast’s largest selection of Porsches, was the stage for our tongue-in-cheek fashion photo shoot. Only the best for Karma — she is photographed in the ultra cool Porsche Boxster convertible. Comfortably situated, Karma appeared unphased by the Boxster’s zero-to-60- mph-in-under-four-seconds capability. We were in touch with Diamond
