ATLETICO MADRID star Kieran Trippier has become the latest high-profile footballer to protect his home by purchasing a guard dog.
The 29-year-old has forked out £20,000 on a rottweiler in a bid to stop raiders from entering his house after his former Tottenham team-mate Dele Alli was robbed at knifepoint.
Chaperone K9 have announced that Kieran Trippier has purchased a guard dog from the firm
Trippier – who joined LaLiga side Atletico from Spurs last summer – is now the proud owner of a guard dog that was bought from Chaperone K9.
And the company took to Instagram where they posted a picture of Trippier’s new dog on their story – tagging the defender and his wife Charlotte in the snap.
Uploading an image of the rottweiler, the caption said: “Welcome to the K9 family @KTrippier2 @CharlHTripper.”
Trippier joins the likes of Paul Pogba and his England international team-mates Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling in having K9 guard dogs.
Leicester duo Hamza Choudhury and Jamie Vardy also have dogs from the firm, along with British rapper Stormzy.
Experts train breeds to be docile family pets that become roaring beasts when a threat is detected.
