A mountain rescue team were called out to save a stranded dog – and ended up carrying the stricken animal to safety on a stretcher.

The Edale Mountain Rescue team were called out via South Yorkshire Police after Jess, a brown Labrador, became unwell and unable to continue her walk.

Due to the rough terrain her walker could not carry her back to the road, and so brave rescuers wrapped her up and carried her back to the road on a stretcher.

The 11-year-old pooch was out with walker Amyleigh Watts at Fox Hagg Nature Reserve in the Rivelin Valley area of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, yesterday.
