A man was left shocked after he received a Rs 5,700 bill for pay-per-view porn - it was accidentally ordered by his dog.

Thomas Barnes claimed that his bichon frise, named Marino, inadvertently ordered the Hustler channel, a semi-hardcore pornographic premium television channel. The pet parent believes that the pooch landed on the TV removed when it jumped on his bed and pushed the wrong buttons.

When Thomas realised what happened, he contacted his satellite provider "within minutes" and tried to explain how it was all a misunderstanding.

Thomas was told that the issue would be sorted, however, he later found out that he had access to the X-rated channel.

His bill came in higher than usual as the satellite provider had included a $70 (Rs 5,700) charge for the Hustler channel.

Thomas subtracted the cost of the Hustler subscription and paid the rest of the bill amount. But this resulted in his entire service being cut off.

The incident happened in 2019 but recently resurfaced and attracted attention again.

Thomas, who relies on Social Security disability payments, contacted the Federal Communications Commission to make a complaint about the issue.

"That 70 dollars, you're taking food out of my mouth. It’s like you're stealing it. They refused to see how that was pertinent," he told The News and Observer in 2019.

His satellite provider agreed to credit his next bill, however, Thomas said that the issue was not sorted out and he was being made to pay for the error.
