Man's best friend... never lets you down.

In that case, I think I'll start bringing wild dogs to my practices to help my kids...

Thank you Stauff Nation. They clearly deserve that as well as the crippler crossface or maybe the figure four - some kinda submission hold is in order here as well!!

They left out that after he finished training with the dog, they ate him.

Governor08 | 04/25/08, 09:26 AM

Yeah, this is actually true. It was turned into a movie "Airbud 8: Dog Tricks & Horse Teeth"

Ronaldinho's Dog | 04/25/08, 09:48 AM

wow, and thought football players were stupid.

I didn't read the story but the headline caught my eye...I had no idea the bounty hunter was a soccer player

The Brazilian version of "Air Bud" taught 'Dinho. How do you say "Air Bud" in Portugese, anyway?

Like Rocky chasing the chicken around.

Hova- Amigo do Ar, I guess. Or Bud do Ar.

And actually, it makes perfect sense. A dog aggressively trying to steal a ball is a pretty good opponent thus makes a good training method. I like this story.

Jazinho | 04/25/08, 11:02 AM

From the article-


'For a dog, he was good. He could keep hold of the ball, but he didn???t know the rules because he was a dog. He was the best dog in the area, though ??? he had a very good right foot!'

Jazinho | 04/25/08, 11:04 AM

I don't know why those question marks showed up. Fannation hates copy/paste.

Jazinho | 04/25/08, 11:05 AM

This is not as absurd as you think. I've seen a lot of kids in Costa Rica playing soccer with their dogs. Especially in the more rural places, where there aren't many other kids. Most Dogs love soccer.

you all mock this...but it is true...I play with my dog and if you can keep it away from him you can keep it from anyone. the dog is relentless and fast and more difficult to deal with than any defender I've ever faced.

did it make me star for the brasilian national team? no. but I can certainly see how he could have developed his skills this way.

Wow, you must suck.

Good boy!
