A dog had a lucky escape today after he fell from a cliff and had to be rescued by emergency services.
The canine fell from a cliff near Garrylucas beach and the owners rang the Coastguard who responded to the incident along with An Garda Siochana.
The cliff rescue team set up and lowered a climber to rescue the dog.
Posting on Facebook, the Coastguard said the incident highlighted the importance of calling 999/112.
The emergency services also reiterated that members of the public should never attempt a rescue in situations like this.
“Our team have the training, equipment and expertise to carry out a swift rescue in these conditions,” the Coastguard posted.
