Ollie ventured far too far out to sea. Local authorities had to launch a rescue operation to recover her off Porthcawl (Wales). His life was in danger.
Ollie may be an excellent swimmer, but she has placed herself in a perilous situation. The English Springer has completely disappeared. There is no information to indicate whether the bitch voluntarily bathed or fell into the water.
The coast guard, alerted by its worried owner, therefore launched a rescue operation.
They searched for an hour. In vain, the quadruped remained untraceable.
3 hours at sea
After this first unsuccessful attempt, the crew returned to dry land to verify the presence of Ollie . Unfortunately, she still hadn’t pointed the tip of her muzzle.
Determined to rescue her, the rescuers tried a new route after a kayaker thought he saw him. Their energy and tenacity saved his life: the canine was spotted in the middle of the waves. According to Wales Online , he spent 3 hours swimming in the open sea.
