It had fallen 50m into a crevice

A dog's been rescued after slipping its harness and falling down a crevice at the Chasms near Cregneash.

The Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service had to use a thermal imaging camera and hand held lighting to find the missing pet.

It had fallen around 50 metres, and was anxious as a result, so fire fighters got the owners to use their radios to calm the dog before securing him in a specialist harness.

He was then hoisted back to the surface and reunited with his family.
