They said: "Boat full of smiles on tonight’s callout after we rescued this casualty. She entered the water and unfortunately was unable to self-recover to the Quayside.
"On arrival and after a bit of reassurance, she happily jumped on to our lifeboat and got lots of cuddles from the crew. She is now perfectly fine and back with her owners."
The team shared some photos on social media following the rescue, showing the team bringing the pup back on to dry land.
Volunteers from Lagan Search and Rescue provide emergency response for the River Lagan and Belfast Harbour areas 24 hours a day.
