Dog saves holidaymaker's leg from the sea

A German pointer from Pembrokeshire has been hailed a hero - after rescuing a holidaymaker's prosthetic leg.

When a freak wave took a woman's false leg into the waters at Freshwater Beach, the distressed holidaymaker and her husband didn't know what to do.

But fortunately, as the Tenby Observer reports, John Dooner and his dog Gertie were walking nearby.

Gertie leapt into the water and swam towards the only thing still floating - the limb.

She managed to grab it before it vanished and swim back to the shore.

Mr Dooner says the woman was "delighted" to get her leg back and very grateful to his dog.
