A dog that leapt 10ft (3m) on to an island surrounded by water in a brick built construction has been rescued.

He landed on a small concrete and brick island surrounded by 10-12ft (3-3.6m) of deep water.

Crews from Delabole Community Fire Station rescued Harry using a triple extension ladder.

A spokesperson from the fire station urged dog owners in the area to be aware of such hazards, especially if their animals were off their leads.
