The coastguard team were called out at 8.58am on Tuesday, August 8 to reports of the pooch in peril in Pagham.

Hendrix had jumped into Pagham Harbour, by the wall in Pagham, and couldn't swim back, and was stuck on a mud bank leading to members of the coastguard to immediately initiate a water rescue.

The team carried out a water rescue with Coastguard Water Rescue Raft as well as being armed with dog treats and were able to reach the dog.
