UK dog survives 300ft fall off cliff

[Vikrant]

LONDON: A dog in UK miraculously survived a 300ft fall after tumbling off one of Britain's highest cliffs while chasing seagulls.

The 18-month-old collie, named Iggy, plunged over the edge at Beachy Head, East Sussex, as his horrified owners Claire Morris and her husband looked on.

Claire, from Haslemere, Surrey, said Iggy hovered over the edge and then disappeared.

"We got on our bellies and began peering over the cliff edge, slowly shuffling along fully expecting to see a body below," Claire was quoted as saying by 'the Daily Express'.

"Then we just spotted this teeny tiny little spot walking around. I have no idea how he survived.

"It was high tide and he must have landed in the water in just the right place and at the right angle," Claire said.

Claire made an emergency call and the pooch was picked up by a UK charity's lifeboat crew and reunited with its owners.

Wow.

Why wasn't the dog on a leash when they knew full well there was a cliff there?
Would anyone here let their young dog go chasing seagulls with a cliff nearby? Probably not.

They hadn't realized previously that the dog, had it been able, would have been a Labour voter so expected a little more intelligence.

And another one that didn't keep an eye on their dog. Good ending, like the OP. But when I watched it...alll I could hear were the howls of pain (icy water tends to cause that) and the fear. That is exactly what Gracie sounded like when I was having her put down. That sound haunts me even today.

Fair question.

Because "everything is political".

Not I, I value my dog too much.
