'Ronaldog' demonstrates 'amazing' football skills

A video has been released of a dog which has balls skills 'similar to the likes of Rooney'.

UK charity Dogs Trust said it has never seen a dog as talented as Alfie, who is now known as ‘Ronaldog’.

The two year old crossbreed, who was adopted from Dogs Trust Evesham two years ago, can dribble at speed, balance a full size football on his head while sprinting, and even side step a ball to confuse his opponent.

Alfie arrived at Dogs Trust as a young puppy with his mother and the rest of his litter.

He was rehomed at 10 weeks old to the Cheltenham based Simpkins family, who quickly noticed that they’d adopted no ordinary dog.

Peter Simpkins explains:

Football skills Ronaldog has perfected:

• Nutmegging (both humans and canines)

• Keep ups,

• Using his nose

• Dribbling at speed

• Back heeling

• Diving header
