Lifeboat Crew Rescues Dog Off Welsh Coast

An RNLI crew rescued a dog that was struggling to stay afloat off the coast of Llandudno, Wales, on April 13.

The RNLI said “there were concerns that the dog’s owner might have also entered the water to try to rescue the dog.”

The owner returned to safety when the crew arrived at the scene.

After being rescued from the water, the dog, named Bruno, “was wrapped in blankets to keep him warm and ensure his well-being.” Credit: RNLI via Storyful
