Mario Balotelli reportedly keeps in touch with his pet dog via video messaging on FaceTime.
The 24-year-old footy ace had to leave his black labrador Lucky in Milan to complete his late-August switch to Liverpool and didn't want to put it through the pain of quarantine again, the Mirror reported.
According to sources, Lucky is Balotelli's pride and joy, and was gutted to leave it in Italy and insists on regular FaceTime chats so Lucky still knows he cares.
