Dog rescued from under pier during rising tide
The soaking wet border collie is found on a ledge under Ryde Pier on the Isle of Wight.
www.bbc.comHere’s the latest I can share about Ilfracombe lifeboat and a dog rescue:
-
A recent RNLI incident near Ilfracombe involved a lifeboat crew member swimming to reach a dog stranded on rocks after being startled by another dog. The dog was retrieved safely and reunited with its family on the boat and back at the station. This event occurred near Capstone Hill in Ilfracombe and was coordinated with Mullacott Coastguard Rescue.[1]
-
The dog rescue was described as a successful and heartwarming moment, with the owners expressing gratitude for the lifeboat crew’s bravery and assistance.[1]
-
Related RNLI dog-rescue news in the broader region includes a dog rescued from under a pier during a rising tide on the Isle of Wight, and other similar rescues where lifeboats or coastguard teams assisted dogs at risk near the coast,.[2][3]
If you’d like, I can pull up direct links to these stories or summarize the most recent updates in a short, time-ordered recap. I can also look for local follow-up details (e.g., whether the dog’s owners posted an update or if there were any statements from Ilfracombe RNLI).
