On Friday 31 May At 6:42pm, London Coastguard tasked Gravesend RNLI to a dog in trouble after falling 14ft into the Thames on the north shore near Tilbury Fort.
RNLI Thames Commander Andy Colley said, ‘We had already had a busy day, what with a tasking at 8:21am to Erith and then a day of exercise, we were just getting ready for shift handover and the direct line from London Coastguard rang.’
