Goodison Park dog Myra hailed as Everton's 'leader' after Chelsea game

Four-year-old Belgian Malinois Myra has been hailed as Everton's 'leader' after stealing the show outside Goodison Park on Sunday (May 1).

Myra caused a stir when she was captured in videos and photos before Everton's 1-0 win over Chelsea. She had been taken for a walk in Stanley Park by owners Jasmine Priest and Reece Van-Aston-Kerrigan, but as they attempted to return to their Walton home, they were caught in crowds around Goodison Park who had arrived early to drum up the atmosphere and welcome the home team.

The crowd stood between Jasmine, Reece and Myra and their home. Needing to guide their dog safely through the horde, Jasmine and Reece picked her up and raised her above their heads.
