Rescuers have hauled a dog to safety after she had fell down a 5m hole at a country park.

The North East Wales Search and Rescue (NEWSAR) team were called to help stricken spaniel Molly in Loggerheads Country Park, Denbighshire , at around 4pm yesterday.

She was on a walk with her owner Neil Partridge from Pantymwyn in Flintshire when she fell in the hole near Devil’s Gorge.

Neil realised he wouldn’t be able to rescue Molly by himself and called the team for help, reports the Daily Post.

NEWSAR sent a small party of members who set up a basic rope system and, using a large bag, managed to haul the pooch to safety.

Damon Winterbottom, one of the charity’s deputy team leaders, said: “Many people think that NEWSAR just deals with incidents in the hills but we do much more than that.

“This was the second callout of the weekend for NEWSAR," Mr Winterbottom added.

"On Saturday evening the team was contacted to help two females who had become disoriented on Moel Famau in the fog.

“The two managed to find the path down to their car before NEWSAR volunteers were deployed to search for them.”
