Plummeted Over Cliff - Is Now "The Luckiest Dog Ever"
EASTBOURNE -
Vets say a dog that suffered just a broken leg after falling 140ft off
a cliff is the luckiest animal they've seen.
Henry the retriever-cross fell off the Seven Sisters cliffs, Eastbourne
while he chased a seagull.
His owner thought he was dead, but found him swimming to the shore
after the sea broke his fall.
Vets have inserted a metal plate and artificial tendons in his front
right leg.
Vet Peter Stotesbury says: "He is the luckiest dog we have ever
come across. No-one could believe he had survived a fall from that height
and undoubtedly it was the water that saved him."
Owner Louise Chavannes says she ran down hundreds of steps and along
half a mile of beach to reach him, the Brighton Evening Argus reports.
Ms Chavannes adds: "I couldn't bear the thought of his body floating
in the sea and I was convinced he was dead. But when I got to the point
where he had jumped I saw his body moving and he was swimming to the
shore. I just could not believe it."
