Stuck cockapoo freed by mountain rescue service

The pooch was on a ledge above a beck

A cockapoo which got itself stuck on a ledge was reunited with its owner with help from mountain rescue volunteers.

The dog was several metres above a beck in Caldbeck, near Wigton, Cumbria, and "too risky" to get to, Keswick Mountain Rescue Team (KMRT) said.

Eight volunteers went to the animal's help on Sunday and rigged a rope rescue system to get a volunteer to it.

Both rescuer and pooch were raised back up the path and the dog was reunited with its owner.
