Cliff dog owner "unbelievably grateful" to lifeboat crew

One minute I could see him and the next thing I could hear someone shouting: ‘There’s a dog in the sea’ – The next thing I realised it was mine.

Spice was in the water for nearly an hour. We were shouting him the whole time and had borrowed a pair of binoculars to watch the situation unfolding. A wave had swept him on to rocks at one point – we really didn’t think he’s be coming home.

Seeing Spice coming towards us with the lifeboat crew was such an emotional experience. I think we were both in shock but unbelievably grateful to the crew.
