Current Events > Coastguard rescues dog after it swims into sea to attack Seals

(+) Yeah! (+)

The RNLI lifeguard team at Sea Palling rescued Rosa the Golden Retriever after she swam out to sea to get a closer look at the local population of seals.

An adventurous dog that decided to go swimming with seals has been rescued by RNLI lifeguards.

Not content with chasing sticks, Rosa the golden retriever was at Sea Palling beach on Saturday, July 3, when she started to swim out to sea in pursuit of a group of seals.

The RNLI team on the beach were alerted to the situation by a member of the public at around 3.30 pm and immediately sprung into action.

Lifeguard Tom Owen stayed on the beach to continue monitoring the lifeguarded area, while his colleagues Rebecca Cooper and Greta Balfour paddled out to Rosa on rescue boards.

The team of two manoeuvred their boards to guide the determined dog, whose attention was still firmly focussed on the seals, back to shore. When they reached Rosa they found her still full of energy and encouraged her to swim alongside them back to shore.

Once ashore, the Sea Palling RNLI team ensured Rosa had not taken in too much water and then reunited her with her owner.

Lifeguard Rebecca Cooper congratulated Rosas owner for not entering the water. She said: "Although Rosa was stuck out at sea, it was great that her owner stayed calm and dialled 999 for the coastguard.

"The RNLI rescue animals to ensure that the public dont put themselves in danger by trying to do so. Rosas owners level-headedness meant that we could bring her dog back safely."

If your pet goes into the water or gets stuck in mud, do not go after it.



You'd think Evolution would have stepped in at some point to teach dogs not to go directly into the sea.

Pitbull moment

The story actually says nothing about the dogs intentions to attack.

Gullible CE moment where the person is too blinded by their own biased narrative to see objectivity

Youguys casting a wider net and fear mongering with all dogs now?

I can't find any of the word "attack" on the article, only from the title.

The story says nothing about the dog being a pibbles. Gullible LaS moment where the joke in the post goes so over his head that he doesn't even see that the dog in question is a retriever so the post wouldn't apply anyway.

Fuck off with the attack dog topics I'm sick of this shit

Nevermind I misread the topic title. I thought TC was calling the seals "attack seals".

yes, the dog was swimming towards trained attack seals, possibly navy seals

I seen that. Obviously, if I read enough to know the mislead in the topic title. I was arguing with the stupidity of the post at face value, I chose not to dwell on the obvious. And it's a joke with malicious intent. Just like the other 300 unoriginal jokes made in the last couple weeks. At least have enough pride to not be "it's just a joke bro" people too.

A retriever was being a bad boy? That's a cosmic first
