Former Premier League footballer Daniel Agger and his family were left ‘heartbroken’ after their pet dog was killed during a trip to a dog salon, his wife has revealed. Sofie Agger, wife of the ex-Liverpool star, posted a photograph of Charlie the dog on Instagram, saying that he ‘went to the groomer and never came home again’. Mrs Agger said workers at the salon, which has not been named, put him in ‘some dryer box’ last week and it was unclear whether the machine was faulty or the animal was simply forgotten about. Salon death: Sofie Agger, wife of footballer Daniel, posted this photograph of Charlie the dog on Instagram . The footballer’s wife, whom he married in 2010, said of Charlie on December 6: ‘We lost him today and our family are totally heartbroken. He went to the groomer and never came home again. ‘They put him in some dryer box and we still don’t know if they forgot him or the machine had a fault. Are such in shock and still can grasp that our dog had pain like that and then died [sic]. ‘Dearly hope anyone who has a machine like that stop using them. Know it’s a long shot but as I said we’re heartbroken. We will miss you Charlie.’ The interior designer, who studied at Liverpool John Moores University, said of the photograph she posted that the dog was pictured ‘at his best’, adding: ‘This is how we wanna remember him.’ Couple: Daniel Agger married his wife Sofie in 2010 (left).
