The dog, which appeared unhurt, was seen by the owners - who were still on the clifftop - swimming in the shallow water just south of the headland.

A crew from Swanage lifeboat managed to lift the dog from the water and arranged to rendezvous with Swanage Coastguard and the owners at South Beach in Studland.
