At lunchtime on Thursday, September 26, Angle Lifeboat launched following a 999 call reporting a dog over the cliff at West Angle Beach, opposite Thorn Island.

The lifeboat launched and made the short journey to West Angle, where they soon located the dog at the base of the cliff, distressed but safe and well.

The inflatable Y-boat was deployed and a crew member soon put ashore to recover the dog. The Y-boat crew transferred the dog onto the All-Weather Lifeboat and proceeded round to East Angle Bay to bring the dog ashore.

Once at East Angle, the dog was landed ashore, again using the Y-boat, into the care of Coastguard Rescue Officers from St Govan’s and Tenby, and the dog’s owners.
