Emergency services rescue dachshund

Penny had fallen in the River Glass on Lake Road

The owners of a dachshund were relieved and 'delighted' after fire crews rescued their puppy which fell in the River Glass on Lake Road in Douglas.

On Saturday, an emergency call was made to the Fire and Rescue Service reporting that Penny had fallen into the river near Tesco. 

Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions there was no sign of her. 

However, hours later, the crew received another call to say she had been spotted again. 

Station officer, David Dallimore says they were met by a small crowd of people, who had still been searching, and with the help of port security, Penny was found on the riverbank.
