A mortified Jenna put the offending item in a bag and it was collected by the red-faced neighbour later that day.

Dog trainer Lee, from Wigan, Greater Manchester, said: ‘I came downstairs and at first I thought it was a training toy. I train dogs for a living and we do have toys that are similar.

‘Then I thought it might have been Jenna’s and was thinking “why has she bought that?”

‘It was just lying there on the floor then I saw what had happened to the box.

‘I didn’t want to touch it and didn’t want the neighbour to think I’d touched it so I cordoned it off like a crime scene.

‘It’s embarrassing but you can see the funny side of it.’

The dad-of-two filmed his dog lying next to the toy wagging her tail and surrounded by pieces of ripped up cardboard.

Jenna said: ‘The postman delivered it here and I’d hidden it behind the door and thought nothing of it.

‘When I saw what it was I thought it was so funny – of all the parcels she could have got hold of it had to be the most secret thing you could have.

‘Bonnie had it in her gob and was walking around with it. She played with it for about an hour.
