A DOG owner has told how she turned "50 shades of red" when her pooch refused to let go of a sex toy she found during a walk in the woods.

Sara Middleton said she was forced to trudge for two miles alongside Basset Hound Flossie, who insisted upon carrying the fluorescent pink vibrator home in her mouth.

Sara, a firefighter for Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, wrote: "WELL!!! When I went down to the woods today, I wasn't expecting this surprise!!

"Flossie was literally buzzing with her new find and proceeded to carry it for 2 miles, proud with her tail in the air.

"Praying to God that no one would see us, you can guarantee we were seen."

Sara said she tried to wrestle the toy from three-year-old Flossie, but she refused to drop it for the remainder of the walk yesterday afternoon.
