A DOGGY paddle went wrong last week and a treasured pet had to be rescued by the fire brigade.
Members of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service’s animal rescue unit, based at Caversham Road fire station in Reading, were called to Heath Pool near Finchampstead at 6.50pm on Wednesday, October 4.
A dog had become stuck on an island in the middle of the lake. The crew retrieved the pet and returned it to its owner in an operation that took around 45 minutes.
