A dog has been rescued after it got stuck on a cliff face in east Devon.

The animal was trapped on the cliff face between 32-49ft (10-15m) up from the beach near Branscombe at about 21:20 BST on Tuesday, firefighters said.

An animal rescue team from Exmouth helped fire crews retrieve the dog using a ladder and harness, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said.

The dog was reunited with its owner shortly after midnight.
