Workington RNLI called out to rescue man and dog
Workington RNLI
Workington RNLI were called out to their first rescue this year after a man and his dog were cut off by the tide while walking on a beach in West Cumbria.
The man and his sheepdog were walking on Harrington shore just before 11am, when the tide came in.
He called Cumbria police for help.
Workington RNLI launched the John F Mortimer, its inshore lifeboat, at 11am, while Whitehaven Coastguard Rescue Team and Maryport Coastguard Rescue Team were dispatched to conduct a search.
The volunteer RNLI crew helped the man and his dog aboard their vessel and to safety.
