No Pets (Rafael Nadal)
Tennis champ Rafael Nadal doesn’t have any pets and sadly, he’s not a fan of them either. In his 2011 Autobiography Rafa, he brings up his fear of animals and dogs, saying “I Doubt their intentions”. Also known for his OCD tendencies, he also mentions his fear of thunderstorms, sleeping in dark, along with ham and cheese. We hope one day he can overcome his distrust to get a dog himself, so the dog can help him get over his fear of the dark and show him how tasty ham and cheese are!
