Torbay Coastguard said:
“We were tasked by Solent Coastguard (NMOC) to ensure the public’s safety after reports came in of a dog in the water at Babbacombe Pier.

“Team members first on scene comforted the dogs owner, ensured public safety and guided Teignmouth Lifeboat to the dogs last known position.

“Teignmouth Lifeboat quickly located the dog on the rocks and recovered him to awaiting team members on Babbacombe Pier, who reunited the dog with it’s owner,”
