Missing collie located close to a 'grassy ledge' behind Peel Hill

Dog owners encouraged to keep pets on a lead

Dog owners are encouraged to keep their canines on a lead when walking near coastal cliffs. 

It's after a collie dog, who had been missing for a week, was rescued from a 'grassy ledge' at the back of Peel Hill. 

The Peel Coastguard Rescue Team received a call for help from Dan's owner who heard him barking from below the coastal footpath. 

Using their personal drone, a member of the team was able to locate Dan who appeared fit and well.

After finding a suitable location for a rope rescue, a cliff technician then descended - approximately eight meters above sea level.
