Mountain rescuers came to the rescue after a dog fell off the side of a hill.
Volunteers from Keswick Mountain Rescue Team (MRT), and Penrith MRT, received a report of a Labrador that had fallen some distance off the Scales Tarn side of Sharp Edge during the afternoon on June 17.
A spokesperson from Keswick MRT explained: “The dog’s owner as well as a couple of Penrith MRT members, who were in the area, went to assist and improvised a stretcher to carry the dog down to the path.
“The Keswick team met the party as the rain started and stretchered the dog down to the car park.
“From here, the owner took the dog to the veterinary practice at Cockermouth for further checks and treatments.”
The mission involved 10 Keswick team members and two Penrith team members and took two hours.
