Watch the moment volunteers from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) rescue a dog at a North Wales cove after it had fallen from a nearby cliff.
A statement by Llandudno RNLI said: “Llandudno’s D-Class Lifeboat ‘Dr Barbara Saunderson’ launched on Saturday 13th April at 6:06 pm after receiving a distress call about a dog in the water near Pigeon’s Cove on the Great Orme. There were concerns that the dog’s owner might have also entered the water to try to rescue the dog.
“The dedicated volunteer crew of four swiftly reached the scene at 6:11pm and, aided by Llandudno Coastguard, located the struggling dog. Upon seeing the lifeboat arrive on the scene, the owner managed to reach safety as the crew approached the dog, which was visibly struggling to stay afloat and trying to find any available ledge to cling onto on the cliff face.
“The crew members managed to retrieve the dog, secure a lead on him, and slowly navigated back to the old slipway where Llandudno Coastguard personnel were ready to assist. The dog was wrapped in blankets to keep him warm and ensure his well-being.”
