It was a game-changing moment at least for the time being when the dog darted across the field and stopped the ball.

Although Juvented lost the match by 3-0, people had already found a reason to celebrate, the dog's ultimate goal-keeping. Some people even said that the dog deserved an award for this. Dog is a Man’s Best Friend: Video of a Loyal Dog Protecting His Drunk Owner Will Melt Your Hearts.
