Cane Corso in an
ancient breed, one of the two native Italian mastiff-type dogs descended from
the canis Pugnaces of Rome. These dogs are extremely athletic, loyal, and
versatile, traits that developed because of their role as all-around farm dogs
in rural Italy. The breed is known for its muscular physique and imposing
appearance. Cane Corsos are big,
fearsome dogs !
West Ham United
Football Club is a professional football club based in Stratford, East London,
England, that competes in the Premier League, England's top tier of football.
They played home games at the Boleyn Ground from 1904 until the end of the
2015–16 season when they moved to the London Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic
Park. The club was founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks and reformed in 1900 as
West Ham United. West Ham have been
winners of the FA Cup three times, in 1964, 1975, and 1980.
West Ham United
winger Michail Antonio has slammed his team, speaking to BBC Sport, claiming
stupidity cost them all three points against Stoke City. The Hammers hosted
Mark Hughes’ team at the London Stadium on Saturday looking to bounce back from
last weekend’s loss to Everton. They looked on course to do just that after a
goal from Antonio, later credited as an own goal from Glenn Whelan, had put
them in front in the 65th minute.
There is more news
as its striker Andy Carroll was
threatened at gunpoint on his way home from training. Carroll, 27, was driving home alone to Essex
in his £100,000 Mercedes G-Wagon when he was confronted at a junction by two
motorcyclists, one brandishing a gun. They threatened Carroll and demanded he
pull over but the West Ham striker, fearing for his life, sped off in a bid to
escape.
Driving in a state
of panic pursued by the motorbikes, Carroll, a source claims, struck several
vehicles as he turned and headed back to West Ham’s training ground at Rush
Green in Essex, hoping to reach safety and receive help from the club’s
security staff. The would-be assailants failed to keep up with Carroll as he
drove at speed. On reaching the training ground he left his top-of-the-range
SUV vehicle and ran to reception seeking help. Sources said Carroll was ‘shaken
and stunned’. Team-mates were alarmed as they struggled to take in events and
club staff immediately rushed to his aid.
Now with more news
emerging, it is revealed that the star ordered two fearsome £15,000 (Rs.12.54 lakhs)
guard dogs in the months leading up to the ordeal. The breed, called Cane
Corsos, can weigh up to seven-and-a-half stone. The animals are renowned for
being excellent guard dogs, which can be trained to be safe around children. But
they have also been involved with vicious attacks, including the killing of
Craig Sytsma, 46, in Michigan in 2014.
The director of the
company which sold the animals to the football star said the dogs are to be delivered very soon. Richard Douglas, director
of Chaperone K9 in Leicestershire, told The Sun on Sunday: They are not
aggressive animals in the slightest, until called upon.' Mr Douglas continued:
'Footballers are obviously targeted individuals. They want something that when
they go away will keep their family safe.' He declined to reveal how much the
dogs cost, but said prices start at £15,000.
Carroll has also
hired a bodyguard since the ordeal. West
Ham have since beefed up security at their Rush Green training base and will
offer Carroll, who earns £90,000 a week, any support he needs in the aftermath
of his lucky escape. During his pre-match press conference on Thursday, Hammers
manager Slaven Bilic revealed the incident has left everyone shocked. Carroll,
who has a two year old son, Arlo, with fiancee Billi Mucklow, a star of TV show
TOWIE, was driving a £100,000 Mercedes G-Wagon when he was targeted. No arrests have been made in connection with
the robbery, which was exclusively reported by Sportsmail.
