A foreign German shepherd mauled his leg, the former Liverpool winger owes his life to his dog

Former Premier League player Jermaine Pennant suffered severe injuries from a dog attack while walking his American Akita, King. A German Shepherd attacked King, prompting Pennant to intervene. King defended Pennant, ultimately saving him from a potentially worse situation. Despite sustaining a minor injury, King remained largely unharmed. Pennant expressed gratitude for his dog's bravery and highlighted their bond. He has since transitioned to a role as a sports analyst after retiring from professional football in 2018.
