ENGLAND ace Michael Owen has bizarrely likened himself to his pet Staffordshire bull terrier as he revealed he tries to teach them “good manners” and what’s “right and wrong”.
The former footy ace turned TV pundit has three dogs – a Staffordshire bull terrier called Kaiser, an Italian greyhound called Zola and Belle, a French bulldog.

Owen, 43, said Belle was “typically French”, saying: “If you want a slight upgrade on a cat then a French bulldog is for you, and so we have a third dog, Belle.
“French bulldogs don’t bother you when you come home. They will look at you and maybe walk up to you.
“They’re typically French – Belle has an arrogance about her.
“You go on a walk and she’s 200 yards behind you, just sniffing in her own world.
“There could literally be a bomb blasting five metres away and she wouldn’t have a care in the world.
“And the other thing with French bulldogs is breaking wind. God almighty, she doesn’t stop.”
He added: “I would like to think I’m similar to a Staffy.
“I’m definitely a happy person, very rarely get down or depressed or in a mood so I feel I’m quite a bubbly character.
“I try to give the dogs good manners because they have to know what’s right and wrong so I think they see me as the dominant person who shouts the rules out.”
