Arriving immediately on scene, both lifeboats and their volunteer crew began a thorough search of the area, just to the south of Eyemouth.

Information was then received that the dog had made its own way to safety. Content that no further assistance was required, both lifeboats were stood down and returned to station, 10 minutes after the initial call.
