Dog owners John and Fiona Preston got the best early Christmas present after their adorable cocker spaniel was saved by firefighters following a frightening cliff fall.
The couple were walking their two cocker spaniels, Olive and Daisy in Chopwell Woods on Saturday, December 3, when Olive suddenly disappeared. After following the sound of her whining, the pair were horrified to discover that the 20-month-old pup had fallen over the side of a cliff and was precariously balanced on a ledge.
It soon became clear it wasn’t safe to climb up to the ledge so they called Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service for help.
