Ernie the dog falls at Peveril

 Ernie the dog was out with his owner when suddenly he decided to explore  the cliff at Peveril Point. 

The cliff was about 60 ft high and Ernie was stuck down about 20ft when his owner called 999 for the Coastguard. 

Both Swanage and St Albans Coastguard teams were tasked to investigate locating the dog stuck. Setting up the rope equipment the teams were about to deploy the rope technician when suddenly Ernie decided to come back up without the help of the Coastguard teams. 

Having thanked the Coastguard teams Ernie ( now on a lead) headed back to town with his owners. 

Ernie the dog returned after falling over the cliff. 

Ernie thanking the teams and discussing the importance of wearing a lead when near the cliff edge. 

In a coastal emergency dial 999 and ask for Coastguard.
