Video shows a stranded dog's tail wagging with joy as fire crews recuse him from a cliff face.

Firefighters at Temple Fire Station in Bristol were called out to Yate Quarry after the spaniel fell into the quarry.

With assistance from Avon & Somerset Police's drone squad, a firefighter was able to winch themselves down the side of the steep quarry and rescue the stranded pup.

Footage captured from the drone shows the nine-month-old black and white springer spaniel perched precariously on a steep ledge - where it had fallen while on an evening walk with it's owners.

A photo of the scene shows how the dog had fallen at least 30 feet - forcing firefighters to use a large winching system to retrieve it.
