Multi agency response to quicksand rescue - Furness Coastguard
Coastguard teams from Furness and Arnside arrived and assisted the fire service providing extra mud rescue equipment.
Once the dog was freed, both owner and dog were checked over by North West Ambulance Service.
The dog owner had come to the area for the day from Manchester and may not have been aware of the quicksand risk.
If you find yourself or see someone else in difficulty around the coastline or on Windermere, Coniston, Derwentwater or Ullswater, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard
