BREAKING NEWS: Dog rescued a week after becoming trapped in cliff

A dog which spent a week trapped 26ft (8m) into a cliff face has been freed by volunteers.

Rose the Jack Russell fell into a small crack in a steep section of the cliff between Illingworth and Halifax, West Yorkshire, on 26 September.

Volunteers have been working at the site each day despite fears over safety, with heavy machinery used to drill into the rock.

In a video live-streamed on social media, Rose was seen being carried from the scene wrapped in a coat, with one rescuer saying the pet was going “straight to the vets”.

Those involved in rescue attempts were able to get food and water down to Rose during the seven-day operation.
