DRINKERS at a popular pub cheered after a rescue operation was launched to save a dog who’d plunged into a river.

Owners of Inn Deep, which lies under the famous Kelvinbridge in Glasgow 's west end, leaped into action after the dog slipped under a metal fence and fell 30ft into the deep water of the Kelvin.

As the dog barked in terror, its owner was lowered down with a rope and harness. He grabbed the soggy pooch and lifted him to safety, earning a cheer from those who had gathered at the bar, on the edge of Kelvingrove Park, on Monday afternoon.

On the pub’s Facebook page, management wrote: “We helped rescue a wee dog from the river this morning.

“Poor thing had fallen off the wall but with the use of our rope and harness we lowered down the owner and the both were fine!”

The pub is a favourite for customers with dogs and drinking bowls are provided by bar staff.

One Facebook user, Linda McKellar wrote: “Wee darling. Glad it was a happy ending!! Pass there many times.”

Rachael Courtenay wrote: ‘I’m always terrified Roxy will fall off there! She fell in at a different place before but I could get her out easily. There it would be much trickier. Glad the wee dog is ok!”
