A four-year-old Doberman dog was rescued alive after jumping off a 200-feet-high cliff in hot pursuit of a rabbit.
The pet – named Gemma – broke two legs and suffered deep cuts and internal injuries but still managed to swim to shore.
A lifeboat crew spotted the injured animal and took it to a local vet who said the pet would make a full recovery.
The drama in Newhaven, East Sussex, unfolded shortly after midday today when Gemma’s owners watched in horror as the dog plunged over the cliff-top into the sea.
Coastguards from the town scoured the shoreline and located the dog, which was taken to the lifeboat station.
A Solent Coastguard spokesman said: “The dog has suffered some pretty serious injuries but appears to have had a lucky escape. The vet was optimistic that it would be okay.”
