File talk:Adopted Greyhound Laying On Grass.jpg

Adopted Greyhound LYING on grass is what you want to say. LAYING takes an object, such as a hen laying an egg. The song, "Lay Lady Lay" was very pretty but really should have referred to a farmer encouraging a hen. Although street-talk totally confuses the two uses, Wikipedia shouldn't. If there is no object, and you are talking about a greyhound just taking life easy, then you want LYING. Very happy-looking dog.  :)
