PHP replace 2nd occurrence of word

I have sentence in my text file like below.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy fox.

How do I replace the second occurrence of "fox" with some other word like "dog" in PHP.

The result should be

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

'How to replace a nth occurrence in a string', this question is for how to replace (for eg) 2nd character in a string but my question is replace 2nd word in a sentence.
