Eagles safety Rodney McLeod and his wife Erika tell the story about how he first got their dog Ceasar when he was in St. Louis because sometimes a footballer just needs a friend.

There are some rumors that Ceasar is named after Rodney’s favorite salad but really he just runs the house. All hail, Ceasar!

Ceasar is more energetic than what you’d expect a typical English Bulldog to be like, Rodney says.

“He’s got DJacc’s speed,” he said of Ceasar.

You can check out Ceasar's impressive hops in the above video. And for more on Philly athletes and their pets, visit our ProPets page.
