But animal welfare groups yesterday advised owners not to encourage their pets to do the same  because they could be injured.

A Dogs Trust spokesman said: “Dogs thoroughly enjoy playing with their families. But we advise owners to exercise caution and not allow their dog on to a trampoline.”

Fellow animal welfare group Peta said: “While trampolines can be great fun, they can also be dangerous. Responsible ­parents would supervise their children if they were on one. So responsible guardians should also supervise their dogs if they’re enjoying a bounce.”

John Lewis, whose ads have become the most anticipated in the festive season, released their latest this week. It shows Buster and foxes enjoying the garden trampoline given to a young girl. It got seven million views on YouTube in 24 hours.
