Did you hear about this? Eric Lichaj really wanted a dog and he finally got one.

Nottingham Forest hero and USA international was promised a puppy by his wife if he nets a hat-trick any time during the year.

Following his heroics against Arsenal in the FA Cup last Sunday (where he scored two, not three) #GetEricADog went viral and broke the internet. It didn’t take long for his wife Kathryn to give in to the pressure and gift Lichaj with a man’s best friend.
