Wimbledon got underway today....I've never been a fan of Andy Murray but he scored big, huge points with me for this...........
Wimbledon 2014: Andy Murray rescues dog on way to practiceAndy Murray is famed for his ability to chase down seemingly-unreturnable balls on the tennis court.
But now the reigning Wimbledon champion has been spotted in hot pursuit of a rather more unusual target - a runaway dog.
In an unscheduled break from preparations for his title defence, the tennis star stopped traffic en route to the All England Club to chase the labradoodle - a cross between a labrador and a poodle, as it bounded down the road.
Murray, a dog lover who owns two border terriers, managed to grab the dog by the collar and get it to safety in the back of his car - where it "drooled everywhere" - before successfully returning it to its unsuspecting owners.
Writing on his blog, the 27-year-old told how he was driving to practice from his home in Surrey when he spotted the dog "running towards the oncoming traffic".
