Another Dog Job!

The Coastguard team along with Swanage ILB went around to Studland again today after "Tommy" the Collie dog decided to leap off a 60ft cliff.

The dog out with its owners had been very careful walking from Swanage around to Studland however just as they approached the final field before the Bankes Arms "Tommy" took the quick route down to the beach.

Thankfully after the 60ft drop the dog was seen to run off, that's where the problems began for the Deputy Station Officer! Having walked around the beach the dog thought he was not going to be caught by Austen, however a quick thinking ILB crew cut the escape route off and hey bingo, dog recovered to the ILB.

ILB Crew save "Tommy" from Austen.

Being the 14th dog rescue since 2010, we are getting use to chasing dogs up the beach! Tommy received some deep cuts to his nose but other than being scared of Austen was not injured.
