Take the lead

This week the Coastguard issued a warning to dog owners about dogs falling off cliffs.

227 incidents in 2011 involving dogs which involved volunteer Coastguards having to assist the owner, sometimes with sad results. At Swanage last year we had 14 incidents involving animals - 13 of those were dogs.

Yesterday at Durdle Door, Dylan the dog had to be rescued by the Lulworth Team.

So dont let an incident spoil your weekend......take a lead in the dog world and set an example, have your dog under control near cliff edges.
