Whippet

Whippet

Whippets were both strong and needed to be fed.

The Tenth Doctor described John Mark's legs as being as thin as pipe cleaners, yet surprisingly as "strong as a whippet". (TV: Fear Her)

In a parallel world, Donna Noble called a woman "Vera Duckworth" and told her to "go and feed the whippets". (TV: Turn Left)
