They found the pet trapped among bramble bushes part-way down the river embankment.

Mike Picknett, helmsman of the Redcar lifeboat, said: ‘It was tricky spotting the dog. She was small and dark, and the light was fading fast.

"We found her tangled in some brambles. She’d cut her paw, but apart from that she was OK."

He said the owner did the right thing by dialing 999 instead of trying to rescue the dog as often he says the pet is safe and the owner gets into difficulties.
