Cliff plunge dog is saved by a sheep

   Cliff plunge dog is saved by a sheep, A DOG that disappeared over a clifftop in West Dorset was found two days later – thanks to a sheep.
Dobby, the one-year-old labrador-pointer cross vanished after she was startled – by another sheep – while she and her owners Holly Chugg Jones and partner Julian Light were walking back to their tent from the Anchor at Seatown near Thorncombe Beacon on Sunday night.
Coastguards joined the search that night and the next day, but there was no sign of the boisterous young pet.
Distraught, Holly and Julian had to return to their home in Bristol.
Alerts went out on Twitter and on the LostDog website in case anyone saw Dobby on the beach.

But on Tuesday night a report was made to coastguard control of possible shouts for help from the same area.
The Lyme Regis RNLI Lifeboat which was at sea nearby on training was tasked to investigate.
On scene the lifeboat crew could find no people in difficulty but did spot a black labrador halfway up the cliff.
Two lifeboat crew members who went ashore also spotted what they thought was a black dog, which turned out to be Dobby.
Meanwhile, a coastguard shore team was alerted and the lifeboat stood off to assist them with directions to the source of the ‘cries’ from the shoreline.
It was believed the cry for help was the bleating of a sheep.
Dobby was recovered by coastguards and was reunited with her relieved family.
“It is fair to say we were all rather overexcited,” said Julian.
“Dobby seems fine, although she is looking a bit thin.”
Dobby was taken to the vet and seemed none the worse for her ordeal apart from an inflamed back leg.
Holly said: “We were walking back from the Anchor when we saw there were sheep ahead.”

“We called her back to put her on the lead, but then one of the sheep bleated and Dobby, who had never seen a sheep before, just went.
“It seemed she had gone over the edge.
“My partner got as close to the edge as he could and looked over and saw her running around.
“We called the coastguards and they carried out a search and were fantastic, but we saw no sign of her.
“We were worried that she had been injured, but hoped someone might see her.”
