A dog walker had an experience that she will never forget while out walking a client's dog this week. Claire Robson, 44, was strolling along the River Tyne with one-year-old cocker spaniel Frankie, when he disappeared into a hedgerow to sniff around and returned with a rather unusual stick.
The mum-of-two initially thought Frankie had found a "rubbery pipe", but then she realised it was actually an abandoned black sex toy, and was forced to lure the pooch with treats to drop it. The playful pup paraded it around for 20 minutes and refused to hand it over, until Claire put some gloves on and finally pulled it away.
