At 15:48 Falmouth Coastguard requested that Falmouth Inshore Lifeboat be launched following a report of a dog in difficulties in the water off Gyllyngvase Beach. The Falmouth Coastguard Mobile was also tasked to assist.

The Inshore Lifeboat launched from her slipway at 15:56 and headed out of the harbour but as the Inshore Lifeboat was passing Pendennis Point at 16:01, they were advised that the dog was back on the beach safe and well so no further assistance was required, the Inshore Lifeboat being released to return to station.

The Inshore Lifeboat was back on its slipway by 16:09 where it was refuelled, rehoused and was ready for service by 16:27.

The Inshore Lifeboat had been launched to rescue the dog, but also as there was concern that members of the public might also enter the water to try and rescue the dog themselves.
