A former Barcelona footballer has been hospitalised in Greece after a terrifying incident involving his own dog. The ex-player, whose identity has not been disclosed, was walking his pet when the animal suddenly turned on him, biting his genitals in a shocking attack.
The incident occurred during what should have been a routine walk, leaving the sports star with serious injuries. Emergency services were called to the scene and the player was rushed to a nearby hospital for urgent treatment.
Football World in Shock
The football community has expressed shock at the news, with many former teammates and colleagues sending messages of support. The player, who had a successful career with Barcelona before retiring, is said to be in stable condition but facing a difficult recovery.
Warning for Dog Owners
This disturbing incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers even familiar pets can pose. Animal behaviour experts suggest that such attacks, while rare, can occur when dogs feel threatened or territorial, regardless of their relationship with the owner.
The player is expected to remain in hospital for several days while doctors monitor his condition. No further details about the dog's breed or its fate have been released at this time.
