The incident occurred at 10 a.m. on Sunday (5 June), when members of the public saw a dog struggling and called HM Coastguard, fearing the owner would jump into the water to save her four-legged friend.

RNLI lifeguards Owain and Peter used the four-wheel drive (4WD) patrol truck and drove to Rye Harbour, where the dog had been spotted, to investigate, with advice from lifeguard supervisor Leon Driver. The lifeguards quickly warned the owner not to enter the water and inquired about the dog’s name.
