Celebrity supercouple DAVID and Victoria Beckham have bought two snarling rottweiler dogs to guard their new Spanish home.

The pair, who recently moved into a new $7.65 million (GBP4.5 million) luxury pad in the capital Madrid - where soccer star David plays for local team REAL MADRID - want the dogs to protect them and children BROOKLYN, four, and one-year-old ROMEO from intruders.

A friend of the family reveals, "David and Victoria love rottweilers but these two are strictly guard dogs, not pets.

"They are trained to attack and are kept on leashes when Brooklyn and Romeo are around."
