VIDEO footage of a heroic rescue of a dog has been shared by lifesavers. 

Bruno was pulled from the water at Pigeon Cove, on the Great Orme, by Llandudno Lifeboat volunteers on Saturday evening (April 13). 

When lifesavers found him, he was struggling to stay afloat.

When the report came in to Llandudno Lifeboat, there were concerns that Bruno's owner had also entered the water to try and rescue the dog.

An RNLI spokesperson said: "The dedicated volunteer crew of four swiftly reached the scene at 6.11pm and, aided by Llandudno Coastguard Rescue Team, located the struggling dog. Upon seeing the lifeboat arrive on the scene, the owner managed to reach safety as the crew approached the dog, which was visibly struggling to stay afloat and trying to find any available ledge to cling onto on the cliff face.

"The crew members managed to retrieve the dog, secure a lead on him, and slowly navigated back to the old slipway where members of Llandudno Coastguard Rescue Team were ready to assist.

"The dog was wrapped in blankets to keep him warm and ensure its well-being."

Luke Heritage, RNLI crew member, said: ‘The dog was visibly struggling when we arrived on scene and we’re glad we were able to safely retrieve Bruno.

"Our advice is to never enter the water after you dog and try moving to a safe location and calling them in the first instance.

"If you are concerned, phone 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard."

The RNLI spokesperson added: "Thanks to the swift and coordinated efforts of the RNLI lifeboat crew and Llandudno Coastguard Rescue Team, the dog was rescued and brought to safety, showcasing the dedication and compassion of our local emergency responders in protecting both humans and animals in need."
