The Bronco star Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara are huge dog lovers. They have not one but three dogs who the family loves to snuggle to. One of their pup is Hero who their kids and fans adore. So, if you want to learn more about this cute little pup, here is everything we know about Russell and Ciara Wilson’s dog Hero, including his age and breed.
How old is Russell & Ciara Wilson’s dog Hero?
Russell and Ciara Wilson’s dog Hero is 6-7 years old. The star player introduced Hero on his Instagram on March 14, 2018, when he was just a young pup.
Russell Wilson even talked about Hero in a 2018 interview with Seattle Seahawks saying that Hero is just an “eight months old” now but “he’s gonna be the “biggest one.”
Talking about his bond with other pet pooches, Prince and Naomi, the player said they all dogs are like “brother and sisters” who like to wrestle each other like “WWE wrestlers.”
What breed is Russell & Ciara Wilson’s dog Hero?
Russell and Ciara Wilson’s dog Hero is a Great Dane similar to his Prince and Naomi. The dogs of this breed are very affectionate with the family and are good with children as well. They are a total joy to live with. But their huge size, weight, and strength can sometimes intimidate the owners.
Depending on the gender, Great Danes usually stand 28-32 inches tall and weigh about 110-175 pounds, making them alert guards for homes. However, one needs to take a look after their health as bloat, or gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), eye and cardiac diseases, hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroiditis, and hip dysplasia, can prove life-threatening for them. Their life span is 7-10 years.
Due to their strength, Russell Wilson thinks that if Great Danes could play football they would be excellent “defensive linemen” as they are “really fast edge rushers.” And if you are wondering why Russell Wilson has three dogs of the same breed, it’s simply because he “loves number three” so he “always wanted to have three Great Danes.”
