09.30 Peverall Close, Henbury
A woman and a dog were rescued from a riverbank in Henbury this
morning.
It is believed the pair became stuck by the riverbank at Peverall
Close after the woman jumped into the river to rescue the dog – a
black Labrador called Rook. Passers-by heard the woman shouting and
raised the alarm.
Firefighters from Southmead rescued the pair by lowering a ladder
to the riverbank. Neither were injured as a result of the
incident.
