The harrowing incident unfolded when Dyfed-Powys Police received a distress call reporting that two dogs had fallen over the edge of the Caban Coch Dam. One dog was tragically found deceased, while the other was alive but badly injured. The situation took a drastic turn when the caller’s partner attempted to retrieve the dogs and ended up falling down the sluiceway, sustaining significant facial injuries and a probable broken wrist. With the injured woman now dangerously perched on the edge of the dam, holding onto the injured dog, the scene was fraught with peril.
