Eastbourne RNLI volunteers saved a dog that was seen in difficulty 100 metres off the shore in Pevensey Bay.

The RNLI said its volunteer crew was paged at 6.20am this morning (Monday, April 25) to reports of a dog in difficulty in the water.

An RNLI spokesperson said, “The inshore lifeboat was launched due to the risk of persons entering the sea to retrieve the dog.

The crew said the three-year-old cocker spaniel was ‘absolutely fine’ after getting into difficulty chasing seagulls.
