Emiliano Martinez has taken a drastic step in protecting his World Cup medal from burglaries by acquiring a US guard dog used by Navy Seals, worth 20,000 euros.
Martinez is making sure his World Cup medal is guarded at all costs with a well-trained, fearsome dog for his Midlands house.
The dog weighs up to 30 kg and has also been used by other security agencies in the United States of America.
This dog has been purchased by famous athletes like Ashley Cole, Hugo Lloris, and undefeated heavyweight boxing king Tyson Fury.
Apart from protecting his gold medal, the dog will be saddled with the duties of protecting Martinez’s wife Amanda and his son Santi, who are currently in Argentina.
The Belgian Malinois are dogs chosen by the military and police; the dog played an important part in the capture of the famous terrorist Osama bin Laden.
