A TEAM of mountain rescue volunteers went to the aid of two dogs yesterday (Wednesday) who had fallen down a hole and got stuck while out walking with their owner near Pateley Bridge.
Pippet, a terrier, and red Labrador Pidge were firmly stuck down the hole at Guise Cliff, near Glasshouses, and their owner, unable to get them out, called for help from the Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association.
Both dogs were safely rescued from the hole, unharmed and able to carry on with their walk.
A spokesperson for the Grassington based UWFRA said: "An eager team was quickly despatched to the site. Once there the team set up a rope system allowing them to abseil down and rescue little terrier Pippet, and fox red lab Pidge.
"Apart from being a little dirty the dogs were unharmed and were able to carry on with their walk home."
It was the tenth rescue so far this year for the UWFRA team.
