The 20-time Grand Slam winner previously said he was once "scared of dogs" whilst taking part in a promotional video. "I'm a little bit scared of dogs to be honest," he said back in 2017. "At the end of the day, I do love dogs but I just haven't spent enough time with them."
He added: "We always used to have cats. With all the travelling over the last 20 years, it's been impossible to have pets but we’ll have a dog some day."
Roger, who has not played on tour since last year's Wimbledon, shares 12-year-old twin girls, Myla and Charlene Federer, and eight-year-old twin boys, Lenny and Leo Federer, with his wife Mirka Federer.
