Footballer Hugo Lloris, 33, has bought a guard dog for a whopping GBP 15,000 (Rs 14 lakh). The France skipper purchased the dog from London's Elite Protection Dogs, reported British tabloid, The Sun.

As the Tottenham goalkeeper's professional engagements keep him away from his family for long periods, the dog's main purpose is guarding his family while he is away. The security firm only uses German and Belgian Shepherds that are brought in from military or police backgrounds.
