Dog with safe paws breaks goalkeeping record

Have you ever seen a dog in between the sticks? Thought not, but here's your chance!
Joe Hart, Thibaut Courtois, Petr Cech and David de Gea will be looking over their shoulders with record-breaking dog Purin showing some of the safest paws around.
The nine-year-old Beagle from Japan now holds the Guinness World Record for the most number of balls caught by a dog with their paws in a minute.
Purin, who practices for 15 minutes a day and has her own Facebook page, commanded her area well and showed perfect technique as she caught the ball an incredible 14 times to break her own record of 11.
To acknowledge Purin's incredible achievement, Sky Sports News HQ asked viewers to send in players for a Dog XI and we've picked out a pedigree line-up - under the guidance of Kenny Dog-leash - which we think will win a lot, especially at fortress Kennel-worth Road…
