Video: Blue naughty boy! Werner spotted chasing lost dog for over a mile
CHELSEA striker Timo Werner
chased a lost dog for more than
a mile — only to end up defeated.
Timo, 25, set off after the terrier
which was darting around in distress
in a park.
Onlooker Vincent Cassidy, 55, said:
“The man was obviously a very fit and
fast runner but the animal couldn’t be
caught.
“I thought the guy looked familiar.
Then suddenly I said, ‘That’s Timo
Werner’!
“He kept going for over a mile all around
the park, but the dog was always just
out of reach.
The dog, called Pickles, was finally
caught by wardens at Battersea Park,
South West London, last Monday. It had
an ID collar and was reunited with its
owner.
Werner played in Chelsea’s 3-0 Premier
League win over Crystal Palace on
Saturday, but drew a blank for Germany
in their 2-0 defeat to England in the
Euros.
Vincent had a quick chat with Timo
after his dog chase and quipped: “You
should have been that lively at Wembley!”
But he was full of admiration for the
speedy Blues star, who was out with
partner Julia Nagler, 23.
He said: “Timo was incredibly gracious,
kind and polite, as was his girlfriend.
“It was brilliant of him to try and help.
He’s had the best pre-season workout
possible.”
