David Beckham is labelled ‘The Dog Whisperer’ by wife Victoria as fashion designer pokes fun at her husband while he feeds their obedient dogs
He was famed for his almost telepathic crossing technique during a stellar career with Manchester United, Real Madrid and the England national team.
But David Beckham hinted at a no less impressive ability to read the minds of his three pet dogs as they relaxed at home on Sunday evening.
The former footballer, who hung up his boots following a brief spell at Paris Saint Germain in 2013, appeared to entrance dogs Olive, Fig and Sage while feeding them treats.

The post comes after David, who is reportedly being lined up for a stint on Celebrity Bake Off, honed his culinary skills by experimenting with recipes during lockdown.
According to reports, Victoria ‘couldn’t get enough’ of David’s homemade pizza after using various different toppings.
Although it has been claimed that the fashion designer who is known for her love of steamed fish and vegetables, is ‘back to clean eating’ now autumn is approaching.
A source told The Sun: ‘Victoria hasn’t touched a carb since 2001. But at the start of lockdown, David started experimenting with recipes — making the dough from scratch and trying various toppings.’
They added: ‘Victoria eventually relented and had a small slice. Things progressed and, basically, she couldn’t get enough of David’s delicious golden dough balls.’
