Call Out

Not all incidents turn out well, the team have just returned from Old Harry after an owner reported their 7 year old Labrador dog missing.

Usually when we arrive at Old Harry the tide is in and that limits us putting a cliff technician over the cliff so would call for assistance of the ILB however today the tide was out and this gave us the safety margin to lower the Deputy Station Officer over and search the cliff base.

It wasn't long before Austen found the dog, sadly it hadn't survived the fall, so using the new animal bag we recovered the dog for the owner and escorted them all back to their car at the Bankes Arms for a sad journey home.
