World Cup winner’s £20,000 ‘gorilla’ guard dog saves Wag from burglars while she was ‘screaming for her life’
A ‘GORILLA’ guard dog came to the rescue after robbers targeted the home of a World Cup winner and left his fiancee “screaming for her life”.
Lucas Hernandez’s luxury pad was targeted by thieves while he was away on duty with Paris Saint-Germain.
But thankfully for the France international, who lifted the 2018 World Cup, his £20,000 dog thwarted their grand plans for a lucrative heist.
Crooks targeted the World Cup winner’s plush Yvelines home during PSG’s midweek Champions League trip to Salzburg.
The robbers, somehow, managed to evade local security and break into the house.
Hernandez’s fiancee, Victoria Triay, was in the house at the time and panicked after realising their home had been breached.
But the couple’s terrifying guard dog managed to scare off the reported five intruders before they could ransack the place.
A terrified Triay hid in a secluded area of the house while the harrowing ordeal took place and was said to have been “screaming for her life.”
And she revealed on Instagram how the couple’s eight-stone black Presa Canario dog, which is worth £20,000, scared off the would-be robbers.
Triay shouted out her pooch for its bravery on her Instagram story a few hours after the ordeal, posting a photo of it with a series of gorilla emojis.

Security eventually arrived at the scene after being alerted of the robbery but the crooks managed to escape.
French police are conducting a thorough investigation into the attempted robbery.
And Brazilian model Triary has been amazed by their response to the incident.
She wrote on Instagram: “Extremely impressed with the French police system.
“How fast and professional this issue has been handled. Thank you so much. You guys are heroes.”
Hernandez has yet to comment on the attempted break-in at his plush home.
The defender and his PSG team-mates will be back in action on Sunday night, welcoming Lyon to the Parc des Prince in a massive Ligue 1 clash.
