Pele feeling petter after hospital stay

-

BRAZIL legend Pele strokes his beloved dog alongside wife Márcia after being discharged from hospital following more cancer treatment.

The three-time World Cup winner, 81, posted the picture on Instagram after heading home.

He wrote: “The peace of being next to my dear wife, Márcia, and our inseparabl­e companion, Cacau.

“Treatment is difficult, but feeling their love is the best medicine. Home sweet home.” Pele spent four days in Sao Paulo’s Albert Einstein hospital after being admitted for follow-up treatment for a colon tumour.

The star had surgery in September and has been in and out of hospital on a regular basis since.

Doctors said the former footballer was now in a “good and stable clinical condition”.
