My pet dog Marino accidentally ordered £70-worth of pay-per-view porn videos – it’s so embarrassing

A MAN was left mortified when he discovered his dog had accidentally ordered £70 worth of pay-per-view porn videos.

Marino is said to have unintentionally purchased access to the Hustler channel, a semi-hardcore pornographic premium TV station in the US. Realising his dog’s erotic error, Thomas quickly contacted his satellite provider DirecTV “within minutes” to rectify the randy transaction. He explained Marino was in fact to blame for the pricey purchase and says the company assured him the cash would be refunded.

But the dog owner then realised he still had access to the saucy channel. When his bill arrived, Thomas noticed the satellite provider had slapped a £70 charge on for the pay-per-view porn service. In a bid to swerve the charge for his canine’s blunder, the 58-year-old deducted the cost of the Hustler channel and paid the rest. However, he was left furious to discover DirecTV had completely cut off his TV services in response.

Like a dog with a bone, Thomas refused to let the satellite provider triumph. He added: “There’s a problem when there’s a mistake, and you expect me to pay for the mistake.” The 58-year-old decided to contact the Federal Communications Commission to complain about the charge. After the government agency intervened, DirecTv eventually agreed to credit Thomas’ account for his dog’s discrepancy. The hilarious mishap which took place in 2019 has recently resurfaced and hit the headlines again. But it seems Thomas isn’t the only dog owner whose pets have left them red-faced.
