Baltimore RNLI has this morning rescued Dixie, a terrier mix dog following a fall from the cliff at the Beacon.
The volunteer crew were requested to launch their inshore lifeboat by the Irish Coast Guard just before 10am this morning after the owner raised the alarm.
On arrival at the scene, the crew observed Dixie sheltering and waiting under a rock ledge after she managed to swim ashore.
Two crew members entered the sea and retrieved the dog bringing her safely back onto the lifeboat and back to shore to her relieved owner.
