This is the most lively the Italian has looked all season

Proof that the striker can move when he wants to

Mario Balotelli hasn’t had much to smile about while at Liverpool but at least he’s still finding joy in the simple things in life. You might remember that the Italian charmed many with his story of helping out with rescue dogs in January

However chiefs at Melwood weren’t too happy with the mutts when they decided to use the pristine surfaces of the clubs training facility as their own personal loos, and even dug up some of the grass in his personal estate in Formby

Balotelli last week Instagramed that someone didn’t like him but it clearly didn’t refer anyone of the canine variety if his latest post on social media is anything to go by.

The clip shows Balotelli in a gym trying to outfox a dog by climbing in and out of a boxing ring. We’re not sure if the dogs are Balotelli’s own, but either way he seems to be much more happy to play with four legged friends than some of his human friends in red.
