A young dog is getting some extra hugs from his owner after going missing close to a waterfall in Co Antrim.

The search for 19-month-old German shepherd Koba started at around 10pm on Sunday evening, in Magheramorne outside Larne, Co Antrim.

Owner William Herron said he spent around 45 minutes trying to find and rescue his dog.

A spokesperson said rope was used to rescue the man and dog, with the incident dealt with by 1.55am on Monday.
