Swanage lifeboat Shout

If it is the story involving the dog I think your actions have been spot on.

First of all from a human perspective - although I do hope this shout was at no risk to yourselves - it portrays you all in a good light and this kind of story somehow makes everyone feel a bit better about themselves.

Secondly as you say by rescuing the dog safely you may very well have prevented someone else dealing with it less professionally thereby creating a bigger problem or even a tragedy in the end.

Good on you all!
 
What kind of dog was it? If it was a manky old cur probably best to have left it to the seagulls . Howver if a cuddly wee pooch then you can probably sell it.
 
In the dim past when I was RNLI crew (Atlantic 21), we were on exercise and watched a cow happily walk off a 120ft cliff. Big splash! We "shepherded" it ashore as it seemed to be swimming OK but the vet put it down.
 
That's dreadful , a cow with enough sense of adventure to go cliff diving and it gets put down. Absolutely dreadful! Especially as it must have really made a big effort to climb up there in the first place!!!
 
Arent Vets, vegetarian? After all anybody who worked in a cigarette factory surely wouldnt smoke would they?
 
I have saved a horse from possible drowning.

And I was told of a yottie landing on Inchkieth (Firth of Forth) whereapon a lovely friendly alsation came down to the quay. After a while it was realised that the dog was alone. The CG were informed that the dog was to be taken ashore and into care of the yotties.
 
When my father in law's sheep fell off a cliff, the coastguard used to come and practice their cliff rescue procedure.
