Man and dog rescued from cliff ledge in Shropshire
A man and his dog were this morning rescued by firefighters after becoming trapped on a cliff face in Nesscliffe Hill Country park.
Mr Keogh from Bomere Heath returned to the park this morning after losing his dog the previous night.
Fenn the Border Terrier was found shivering on a ledge, Mr Keogh attempted to rescue Fenn, when he himself became stuck at around 8.40am.
A crew from Baschurch using line safety equipment successfully rescued Mr Keogh and Fenn from the ledge and they were both happily reunited with the rest of the family.
A Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “Although this incident had a very happy ending the message that the fire service must send out is that members of the public should consider their own safety before attempting any rescue of pets from dangerous situations.”
