Good pic Bob, bet owners were relived
I think the owners must have been. They had waited a very long time. I don't know how long the dog had been down the cliff but obviously they had to call the coastguard and then wait for them to arrive, and then it seemed to take forever waiting for them to get the gear set up safely. The actual rescue didn't take long and as the man descended the cliff the dog, which was on a flat'ish section, came up to him wagging his tail. The dog was too big to go in the red recovery bag so had to be pushed up the cliff in front of the abseiler pretty well sat in his knees and there were a couple of difficult bits but all went well.
Apart from the poor dog of course it took about 9 or 10 Coastguards in total...I hope the owner gets the bill. They will certainly have learned a lesson I think.
