Successful rescue for poppy wearing pooch.
The local volunteer rescue team were called by North Yorkshire Police to a village near Thirsk yesterday after reports that a walker's elderly dog that had fallen into a beck and was unable to get out.
The sides of the watercourse were also too steep for the walker to rescue the dog.
The team say:
"Once on scene we quickly recovered Millie the whippet, unharmed, from the beck and reunited her with her owner before walking them back to their car in the dark.
We are pleased to see that Millie was still proudly wearing a poppy for Remembrance Sunday after her adventure. We had fifteen team members deployed for two hours."
After the rescue Millie's owner said:
"Thank you to everyone involved in rescuing my whippet from the beck today. I am so grateful to you for giving up your time to help. She is very precious to me and I don't know what I would have done without you. She's now safely sleeping in her basket and apart from being a bit smelly seems to be no worse off for her ordeal. Best wishes"
