Dog reunites with Norfolk lifeboat crew that saved her life
Olive's paid the RNLI a visit to say thank you
A dog's reunited with the Norfolk lifeboat crew that saved her life.
Olive the Airedale Terrier was rescued from the water by the team from Wells-Next-the-Sea back on 29th December 2024.
She'd been unresponsive, so quick thinking volunteers administered chest compressions on her.
Now she's paid another visit to the station with her family to say thank you.
During their visit, Olive and her family had the chance to meet volunteers and to thank them personally for their quick response and lifesaving efforts.
The family were also given a tour of the station, where they learned about the lifesaving work the RNLI does.
Tom, Olive's owner, said: ‘We could not be more grateful for the rescue and support we received by the brilliant lifeboat crew and on shore team.
"Their professionalism, kindness and care was inspirational and we cannot thank them enough for saving Olive’s life and bringing us to safety.’
Nurse and crew member Simon Parkes explained: ‘I am used to resuscitating humans but never a dog.
"It was a huge relief when Olive started slowly breathing. Then a great team effort, both inshore and shore crew, getting her back to the boathouse to warm her up.
"What a relief when Olive was able to walk out with her family.’
