A DOG walker said they were mortified after one of their dogs ran out into a field – and came back with a sex toy in their mouth.

Heybridge resident Stuart Taylor, 35, had a walk with their two Labradors at Beeleigh Falls at the weekend.

While letting Jack and Milo off the leash to have a roam around the field, Stuart noticed something.

They said: “I noticed one of my dogs, Milo, was running back toward me with something in his mouth and something swinging from it.

“I assumed he had just found an old dog toy on the field, like one of those balls with a rope attached.

“Obviously, when he got closer, I realised it was nothing of the sort and was in fact a sex toy with a bra strap attached to it.

“I was absolutely mortified.

“Took a while to get him to drop it also.”

He said the experience was sickening, and he does worry about his dogs finding something which could harm them or cause injury.

“I don’t know what happens down there at night time, but where is always empty beer cans and rubbish strewn around that place. May be parties or just kids messing about,” he added.

“Not exactly the sort of thing you would expect to find on a country pathway!

“Generally, I think there is more rubbish left on country walks as well as an increased amount of dog fouling which isn’t picked up.

“It just makes the whole experience unpleasant.”
