London, Dec 28 (IANS) Former Spice girl Victoria Beckham has gifted her husband David Beckham a bulldog this Christmas. She has reportedly splurged more than $3,000 on the animal as she feels the breed is a symbol of the football star’s spirit on the field.
The 35-year-old bought the bulldog from a local breeder after her husband spoke of England’s bulldog spirit in the run-up to next year’s World Cup campaign, reported thesun.co.uk.
Victoria gave her present to David as they celebrated Christmas at their British home, Beckingham Palace in Hertfordshire.
The dog will live with Victoria and the couple’s children – Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, 7, and four-year-old Cruz in Los Angeles while David is in AC Milan.
“David absolutely loves the bulldog. Posh said she chose the breed because it is a symbol of Becks’s spirit on the football field,” said a source.
“He will be flown out to LA so the boys have something to look after while he’s away,” added the source.
David already has two Rottweilers called Snoopy and Puff after his favourite rappers Snoop Dog and P Diddy, formerly known as Puff Daddy.
