A dog has been rescued after becoming stranded on an island in the middle of Portsmouth Harbour.

The small brindle terrier called Max was rescued by the Coastguard and lifeboat crews on Saturday morning in a two-hour rescue mission.

The small dog was out for a walk with its owner near Portchester Castle when he escaped onto the harbour mud and swam to Pewitt Island.

Max was cold and distressed as he had tried to swim back to shore.

But he was very happy to be reunited with his owner.
