Drowning Golden Retriever Saved By Rescue Team!

This golden retriever was rescued by crew from New Brighton lifeboat station as she was being swept out to sea. Martha (the ten-year-old golden retriever) was with her owner on Leasowe shore on Wednesday when they were caught out by the strength of the outgoing tide.

“When both crafts reached the scene and after a search we eventually found the dog about half a mile from shore being rapidly swept out to sea on the outgoing tide,” said senior helmsman Dave Lowe.

“Even though she had been swimming well she was cold and shivering, we wrapped her up in survival bag and calmed her down then took her to the lifeboat station where we were met by her very relieved owner,” said Lowe.
