A DOG HAS been rescued after falling 100 feet from a cliff edge on Howth Head in Dublin.
The Irish Coast Guard emergency operations centre received a 999 call reporting the incident this afternoon. It was also reported that a member of the public was trying to access the location.
The Irish Coast Guard cliff rescue team based in Howth was tasked and quickly located the incident near Casana Rock.
The dog had been distracted by wildlife on the cliff path while out walking with its owners and subsequently fell 100 down the steep cliff to the rocks below.
A team of 12 lowered a rescue climber to the scene who brought the dog, named Jacko, back to safety.
The dog was reunited with its owners and taken to the vet where he is recovering with a broken pelvis.
“We are appreciative that the owners remained on the path and called for help immediately,” the Irish Coast Guard said.
