Soccer fans will relate that sometimes you just want to run into the stadium and show the players how it’s done. These emotions often occur in couch potatoes during an outburst, but we shall leave the game to professionals, except if that someone who wants to help is a dog.
This stray dog decided to take the fate of its home team into its own paws during the game between The Strongest and Nacional Potosí at the Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz, Bolivia, on December 24. The pooch stole the show for three minutes and had some of the best moments of glory. The dog joyfully ran around with a stolen football boot in its mouth and received some well-deserved belly rubs from players on the field before being carried off the pitch by a player from the home team, Raúl Castro.
The furball later named Cachito not only won the hearts of fans, but was a good luck charm for the home team as they won the Christmas Eve match 3-0. Unfortunately, its story doesn’t end there, although in the end, it’s more than the dog bargained for (unless that was its plan all along).

This makes me wish hugs were allowed- may this dog never know suffering again, and curse the person who hit him and didn't stop. He's such a happy dog.
Not making excuses, have you spent time in La Paz? Traffic is crazy and there are, unfortunately, many stray dogs (and people) weaving in and out of streets. Sometimes it is not possible to get out of the car without getting hit yourself. Just glad it has a happy ending. Cachito is SO cute!
Awww, thanks Raúl. You have a good heart.
Glad he got adopted! Now that’s a way to get attention
