Quality insight into the mind of Roy Keane and his sadly deceased hound. The mutt became briefly famous because of Keane's dogwalk through the media circus after his World Cup bustup with Mick McCarthy.

You may have heard the sad news by now. "She was a great dog and went through a lot with me, ups and downs," Roy Keane said, breaking the news that Triggs had moved up to the great big kennel in the sky.
"You will have me crying in a minute, so be careful," Keane went on. "She had a good life. She was 13 and unless you've had a dog you will never understand."
Triggs certainly put in a good shift, with her muddy paws and shiny yellow coat, in those nostalgic days when she bounded through the Cheshire countryside, followed by the world's paparazzi.
Triggs loved the controversy, didn't she? Never more so than during the 2002 World Cup, when the walks were particularly brisk and the snappers were on a 24-7 vigil in the country lanes.
Keane was asked about his love for Triggs once. "Unlike humans," he explained, "dogs don't talk shit."

I'm assuming this is true...

When Sunderland were losing to Northampton in the league cup a few years ago, (and this comes directly from the dressing room to me from 1 of the players) basically Keane lost it big time calling all the players wives "slags" then he said "you're all a bunch of ****s, I don't trust you...the only person I trust is my dog" He referred to it as a person! WTF! Weird bloke but I have a lot of respect for the guy, think he's generally bang on as a pundit.
