I copied out the translated article from eltiempo.com about the adopted 'mascot' of the Spanish team in Manizales, Colombia, and how he inspired them during their time at the Under-20 World Cup.

Sadly, now the team has to move to Pereira for the quarter-finals, leaving 'Nacho' behind, because he is a trained guard dog who lives and 'works' in Manizales.

Nacho, my guardian in Manizales, the dog caught the players from Spain and other selections concentrated there
A trained dog was responsible for firing the national team of Spain in Manizales.



Over the past three weeks, Ezekiel Calvente, Spanish striker, took every morning to look out the side door of the Hotel Carter and so fulfill the appointment to that being from the first day he arrived in the capital Caldas, gave some it is not easy to find: unconditional friendship.

Gesture was enough to show the Iberian could trust him. "I always wagged his tail and that is the best sign that the affection was mutual," the player had moved yesterday Betis stroking, perhaps for last time, the head of Nacho, that guarded the golden retriever from the past July 27, the gathering place of 'Red'.

"Not a day that did not come to greet him, could have a good time annoying and hard it gave him leave," he acknowledged while the bus bound for Spain pulled Pereira, Patrolman Almer Romero Moreno, head of animal belonging School of Dog Training Guide and the National Police.

Both uniformed and Nacho, arrived in Manila late last month from the capital Caldas, from Facatativa, Cundinamarca, where does the specialized center for dogs to further develop their noses against organized crime.

Among nearly 200 dogs that are part of the school, the farmer was chosen along with 19 more to support their respective guides security operations in the U-20.

The daily shift supervision and control were observed five hours and the time to Nacho energy left to jump into the police van that picked up with his master to carry them Carabineros de Manizales, site hosting and rest for two .

"Wherever you see, he is skilled in manual eradication and is quiet and also eat," the trooper says proudly Romero, who is also responsible for supplying the two servings daily, one in the morning and one at night . Each serving between 400 and 500 grams.

"Hopefully we continue to Pereira and Ezekiel can be seen again with Nacho" he said with longing desire and once a member of the police, who feels her partner as a child, it is responsible for providing one of the gestures Spanish more emotional to say goodbye to Manizales. And yesterday, literally those Lopetegui, dismissed even the dog in the capital Caldas.

I loved the photo! This dog has obviously brought joy to the lives of some of these boys who are far from home. The look on the face of the player hugging the dog just made my day!♥
