A paddle boarder and their dog were rescued from a Scots bay yesterday after getting into trouble in the water.
The alarm was raised shortly after 3pm when HM Coastguard received reports of two people and an animal in danger at Luce Bay in Stranraer, Wigtownshire.
Stranraer Lifeboat was alerted to the incident and raced to the large bay, along with hero workers from Portpatrick and Drummore Coastguard teams who were also on standby to offer assistance.
