Man and puppy rescued from sea at Clevedon Pier

A man and a 12-week-old puppy were helped to safety from the sea at Clevedon Pier in Somerset earlier.

Portishead RNLI lifeboat, the Coastguard helicopter from St Athan, Clevedon and Portishead Coastguard Rescue Teams were sent to rescue the pair.The coastguard then helped both of them to safety, issuing a warning never to enter the water to rescue another."The dog was swept into the sea and ended up on the rocks near the yacht club."Coastguard units then arrived followed by the helicopter and helped get the man and the puppy out of the water at about lunchtime.

"Dogs are naturally very strong swimmers, even against the tides, and Bo managed to make his way to the safety of the rocks ready for collection. Albeit a little cold. "We strongly advise never to enter the water in order to save another life because things can escalate very quickly."We can be there quickly, and it's easier if we only have one life to save."
