A friend of mine has a Saluki (hers in photo here):
which according to wiki:
"In 1996, The Guinness Book of Records listed a Saluki as being the fastest dog, capable of reaching a speed of 68.8 km/h (42.8 mph)."
Despite being bred for raw speed they're an affable and reserved dog, not that rambunctious and apparently somewhat easier to care for than some more common breeds. Sometimes ribcage is easily seen thru the skin like the dog is starving but I'm told that's normal in healthy Salukis.

None that krw can understand.
It looks silly to krw, but anything he can't understand looks silly to him.

My bad - I thought your comment was about the text you quoted.

We have a Saluki - a lovely dog (rescue from the far east) - and a great
family dog. Lord she loves to run! She first bounds into the air like a gazelle when she heads into the yard for her morning squirrel inspection... I have a video somewhere if anyone cares.
I'd read that Salukis were just slightly slower (like 1MPH slower) than Greyhounds, however I trust Guinness more that Wikipedia.

I'm told they are nice animals, but maybe they need decent exercise. (I've been behind a husky pack that I didn't want to touch. /After/ their run they were delightful to handle)
It looks like a Saluki's belly is about 14" off the ground. I've just measured my daughter's dog, and its belly is only
4" off the ground. 24mph ain't bad for such short legs :)
Then this is PWM.

Males do that but only very few females do. Male humans have an essentially similar behavior except they use tools to mark. Or big muscle cars.
Wow, that's what I call a good night's sleep! I don't think our older Labradors could hold it that long.
The new guy (an Entlebucher Mountain Dog) could but he pees only little before bedtime. It all seems to go into his "marking savings account" for the walk next morning. He leaves notes every hundred yards, for 2-3 miles.
When dogs get older you may not hear it but you can see and smell it in the morning :-)
