Annette in dog saving rescue mission at sea
13 August 2009 by George Roberts
Office manager Annette Moran's recent sailing holiday turned into a dog rescuing mission as her and her husband Steve saved a cocker spaniel stranded out at sea.
'Buddy' had been walking with his owner before chasing a rabbit and plunging down a 100ft cliff in Dorset. He then paddled nearly one mile out to sea before Annette and Steve spotted him just off Studland Bay and got into their dingy to rescued him.
They took Buddy back to their 46ft yacht where they fed and watered him, and their own dog, also called Buddy, made a fuss of him. He was later returned to his owner courtesy of a nearby jet skier.
This unbelievable story has received regional and national press coverage and left her colleagues astounded!
