Dog and owner got into problems at Bolton Abbey today
Among the crews that responded to the hapless pair’s cry for help were one from Selby who had to travel more than 45 miles from their base to get to the emergency.
The dog and the owner got into trouble when walking near the River Wharfe at Bolton Abbey at the top of Wharfdale at lunchtime.
They ended up on the wrong side of the bank and unable to get back to the right side.
Five crews from Grassington, Ripon, Skipton and Ilkley as well as Selby combined to carry out a water rescue.
They used a sled and throwing lines to bring the dog and its owner back to safety. Neither was harmed by the incident.
