Her owner, Makoto Kumagai, 47, said that the talented hound dog would enjoy showcasing her talents in South America.
According to the owner, the dog can enjoy playing football it it concentrates well.
Makoto Kumagai said that the female dog plays football at least once a week and hence she keeps very active in dribbling the ball.
