ATLETICO MADRID star Kieran Trippier is one of the latest high-profile footballer to protect his home by purchasing a guard dog.
The 29-year-old 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 in summer 2019 – 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.
