I don't remember much about the book, but it took place in the UK, pre-1970s. All I can say for sure about the book is that the boy bought a greyhound for a 5 pound note and, for some reason, I think that he was poor and the man selling the dog was at least well off. I don't think it took place in London, but it was an urban setting. It was probably a young adult novel, at least a coming of age tale (without all the sex and nonsense that coming of age tales have these days).

Could it be Helen Griffiths, The Greyhound, 1968, copyright?
Oh my--yes, that's it!! Thank you so very much!! I am stunned . . . with so few details I never thought anyone could help me find it, let alone a day later. :P
I'm glad it's the book you were looking for! Isn't Goodreads great?
