MESSI PUP! MEET GLEN THE FOOTBALL PLAYING DOG

By Randal Coombs

There are a large number of videos online featuring football-playing dogs, but none quite with the talent of this one.

The video, filmed by dog owner Sarah Miller on an island in the Firth of Clyde, shows seven-year-old Glen the Labrador playing football on a five-a-side pitch.

This isn’t your average viral video featuring a sporty canine either.

Glen is genuinely talented and can dribble the ball with more accuracy than most people, using his legs and nose.

“Anytime he sees a football, he kicks it,” explained Sarah.

“He loves playing with the kids; he will tackle them and take the ball from them.

“He loves any ball, small or large, but kicking the ball is favourite.”
