The dog is constantly by coach Carlos Jara Saguier's side, 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.

"The thing that makes me laugh is he tries to imitate the movement of the players during training."
