04 January 2012 - Dog water rescue on New Year’s Day

A collie dog took an unplanned loony-dook at 6pm on New Year’s Day when he slipped on the dockside and fell 2.5metres into the Water of Leith at Victoria Quay.

Firefighters rescued Sam the dog using an inflatable rescue sled after he managed to climb onto a wooden bollard in the water.

The dog was distressed but not injured and reunited with his owner after the rescue.
