The former Everton midfielder has splashed out £20,000 (S$36,000) on a Dutch Shepherd guard dog to protect his home from intruders.

PETALING JAYA, August 5 — Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has become the latest big English Premier League name to spend thousands of pounds on a specially-trained guard dog.

As reported by Daily Mail, Arteta, 38, was pictured with the large hound on Instagram at the end of last week, just before Arsenal's record 14th FA Cup triumph over Chelsea on the weekend. The Gunners boss isn’t alone in seeking protection from a furry companion, however, as many current and former Premier League stars have invested big to improve the security in their homes.Just two weeks ago, West Ham midfielder Jack Wilshere got a safety hound for his home from Elite Protection Dogs as well, which breeds the “best working puppies from military or police ancestry,” as described on their website.

Chaperone K9 has also been used by Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish earlier this year when he bought a Belgian Malinois, and by BT Sport pundit and former Manchester United player Rio Ferdinand who acquired a German Shepherd to protect his family while he is away on work.Chaperone K9 chief Richard Arnold told The Sun earlier this year that footballers are just looking for some added protection for their families.
