A second dog falls at Durlston

In sadly what was almost a facsimile copy of last weekend's tasking, the Swanage Coastguard cliff team were called to a report of a dog that had jumped over a wall at Durlston Country Park and fallen some 90ft into the sea. The dog was subsequently spotted by its owner swimming about 100m off shore.

The Swanage Inshore Lifeboat (ILB) was tasked to assist but could not find the dog. Sadly it would appear the dog had drowned, the whole situation was desperately sad for the owner.

It doesn't matter how well trained or behaved the dog is, please, please keep your dogs on the lead near to the cliff edge.

.......

Ending on a positive note it was the first official tasking for our newest recruit! We'll introduce you to Callsign 'Juliet' our climbing instructor and mum of two, later this week.
