Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford took to Instagram on Tuesday to show off the newest member of his family — a new puppy called Saint.
However, the picture has alarmed animal welfare experts, and not just because of the United top the pooch has been forced into.
The dog, a Can Corso from Russia, has clearly had its ears cropped, according to campaigners, an illegal practice in the UK and Ireland.
Under Section 5 of the Animal Welfare Act 2006, it is illegal to allow a prohibited procedure to be carried out on a protected animal.
