HERO 999 crews raced to rescue a dog stuck on a ledge near a riverbank in Glasgow.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) say they were called to the incident near a riverbank on Kelvin Bridge near Otago Street in the city's West End on Wednesday, February 7, at around 2.07pm.

In total, two fire vehicles and two water rescue units were sent to the scene.

Luckily, the furry friend was then rescued by the hero emergency crews.

Fire crews attend incidents such as animals in distress to avoid members of the public putting themselves in danger while trying to do their own rescue.
