This morning the team were tasked to the Downs in Swanage after "Ellie" fell down the cliffs about 30ft.
The team rigged the rope equipment up and sent a technician over the cliff to bring the dog back to safety.
Today we had a guest Technician in the shape of Phil Brolan who is the Station Officer of Southbourne Coastguard. Phil was working at the Swanage station when the call came in so with equipment and training the same now in the Coastguard, Phil joined in with no problems.
Once back on the top of the cliff a bowl of water and a hug from Phil saw the dog given back to her owners.
This is the 4th dog incident this year and whilst the weather remains hot and sunny please can we remind owners to keep their animals on a lead.
