Coastguard rescue Dog from cliffs in Ballycastle

At around 10:25 on Sunday 4th October, the Coleraine Coastguard Team was tasked in support of Ballycastle Coastguard who were proceeding to rescue a dog, trapped on a dangerous sea cliff- with the very real threat that the owner would attempt a rescue.

After a short period of negotiation, and the appearance of a tasty treat, the young springer spaniel was persuaded by the rope rescue technician into the animal rescue bag.

Canine casualty and coastguard rescuer were then winched to safety.
