A man and his dog were rescued by the Dun Laoghaire RNLI on Saturday afternoon after being cut off by the tide at Sandymount.
The incident happened at around 12:30pm after the man followed his dog into the water to retrieve him. The tide came in very fast and he became trapped on a sandbank with his clothing soaked up to chest level.
The alarm was raised and the inshore lifeboat crew from Dun Laoghaire RNLI responded. A crew member left the lifeboat and made his way to the man and his dog, where he checked their condition.
