Dog falls at Durlston

This afternoons patrol were diverted from Studland following a 999 call reporting a dog fallen from the cliff near to Durlston Castle.

On arrival the initial response team spotted the dog in the water and kept an eye on it until the RNLI inshore lifeboat arrived.

Sadly the 16 month old Labrador didn't survive the 90ft fall which was very distressing for the owner.
