Ex-Liverpool defender Daniel Agger and his family have been left ‘heartbroken’ after their pet dog was killed during a trip to a dog salon, his wife has revealed. Sofie Agger posted a photograph of Charlie the dog on Instagram, saying that he ‘went to the groomer and never came home again’. She said workers at the salon, which has not been named, put him in ‘some dryer box’ last week and it was unclear whether the machine was faulty or the animal was simply forgotten about.
