Cookie, who has been Gracie’s friend for more than five years, was seen revolving in the washing machine while the owner snapped up Gracie’s reaction.

The pup’s owner Jessica Bernhardt, 48, had put Cookie in the wash, but ended up bursting into laughter when she spotted her dog’s shocked expression.

Jessica later photoshopped the image to add whites to Gracie’s eye to make her look even more shocked.

Gracie waited an hour for the cycle to finish before being reunited with her beloved toy, and promptly snatched her back into her safe and sound jaws.

Since mum-of-two Jessica shared the funny picture of shocked Gracie on Instagram it’s gone viral racking up more than a whopping 4,000 likes and comments.

Jessica, from Hamburg, Germany, told Metro: “Cookie the toy was looking a little bit dirty and in need of a wash, which is why I put it in the washing machine.”

She added: “Gracie trotted into the kitchen and looked very surprised when she realised where her favourite toy Cookie was.

“As soon as I saw her expression I found it very funny, it made me laugh so much.

“Cookie usually carries it everywhere with her – she’s had it for five years – so obviously missed her while she had a wash.”
