Families, including three children and dogs, were cut during high tide.
The owner and staff of a nearby cafe used Padalboard to take people into security, the Lifeboat Crew said, but the dog scrambled on the rock of the aspiration island.
Volunteers wrote on social media, “Although the sea condition was worsened with the upcoming rough tides, our small Y-boat was deployed with two crew members from Lifeboat.”
A member of a crew jumped on the rocks to assure the dog, while the Y-boat returned to the lifeboat for another crew member and a heavy line.
The rescue team secured the line to the dog, stated that they had no other option for the crew members and the dog.
“However, due to the size of the otis, it was almost impossible to recover him for the Y-boat, so it was held against the boat until they were not able to return their way to the crew waiting on the board RNLB roses. Otis was recovered, as well as with the Y-boy on the lifeboat ready to travel at the lifeboat station.”
The volunteers kept the dog warm until they reunite with their owners.
“Otis had potentially entered due to the amount of water, he was also going to pay a quick journey for the weight,” RNLI said.
