Rescue – Carlton Husthwaite – 14th November, 15:55 (111/2021)
Called by North Yorkshire Police to reports of a walker’s elderly dog that had fallen into a beck and was unable to get out. The sides of the watercourse were also too steep for the walker to rescue the dog.
Once on scene we quickly recovered Millie the whippet, unharmed, from the beck and reunited her with her owner before walking them back to their car in the dark.
We are pleased to see that Millie was still proudly wearing a poppy for Remembrance Sunday after her adventure. We had fifteen team members deployed for two hours.
We have subsequently received the following for Millie’s owner:
‘Thank you to everyone involved in rescuing my whippet from the beck today. I am so grateful to you for giving up your time to help. She is very precious to me and I don’t know what I would have done without you. She’s now safely sleeping in her basket and apart from being a bit smelly seems to be no worse off for her ordeal. Best wishes’
