A spunky stray dog has found himself a job as an “assistant coach” of Paraguayan soccer club 2 de Mayo.

The dog has constantly been seen at the side of coach Carlos Jara Saguier, whether the 61-year-old is leading a training session or giving an interview.

“I gave him a piece of pie [empanada] and from that day on, every time I came to work, he greeted me. He no longer ran away from me. Now he threatens our opponents with a grunt,” Saguier said. “The dog lives in the clubhouse, he never gets away from me and when I close the doors to go home and he stays there, he gets a bit annoyed. But by day he’s so friendly and everyone loves it.”

“He takes me on the field, in the offices, in the corridors and he does not want anyone to leave him, he’s my partner in this adventure with this club,” he continued. “The thing that makes me laugh is he tries to imitate the movement of the players during training.”

Social media users can’t get enough of this amazing dog!

Story of the day: Stray dog becomes “assistant coach” of Paraguayan club 2 de Mayo. Manager Carlos Jara Saguier one day fed her a piece of empanada… and she hasn’t left his side since.
