The Shih Tzu had been running near Trow Point Rocks when it fell down a gap between the rocks and became stuck at about 2pm, today.

Two crews from South Shields were called to help.

A firefighter was able to put the dog into a special dog bag and lift it to safety before reuniting it, with its owner.

It is not believed the dog was injured in the ordeal.
