are you all forgetting what these generous people are doing for a job! they work as coastguards and do a wonderful job, even if it means rescueing a family pet, it shows a great community spirit in our south coast district.

I agree with dc, sussex. What is the matter with all you time wasters, making totally inappropriate statements. How commendable of these brave people to place their lives at risk. I suspect, that unlike yourselves, dogs have no possessions, asks for nothing and is obsessively loyal. That is why decent people act selflessly in this way. Would it have been a waste of money had it been a close relative. I think not.

Well done to the brave people who assisted in this rescue.
However, the Argus should know that Alsatian is spelt ian not ion! And they are now officially called German Shepherd Dogs (ask the Kennel Club). Shame on you, Argus, for not knowing this. Let's hope more serious mistakes are not made in other articles ...

What a stupid argument, If a close relative needed an expensive life saving operation on the NHS I would expect it. If my dog was in the same position I wouldn't. You can't really campare the two can you? I think the owner should have have been forced to pay some money towards the rescue just for walking his dog on a cliff....whats wrong with a nice safe park?

Re: Benny Brighton.
That in its self is a stupid argument. I am not speaking of expensive life saving operations on NHS. Dogs don't have ops on the NHS. I am merely attempting to express the degree of kindness and consideration afforded to an animal which in its self is commendable. You may be right in stating that some expense should be recoverable.
