Large dog rescued after refusing to move

A mountain rescue team spent more than three hours helping a dog who refused to move.

Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team (WMRT) was called out by police to Wastwater Screes in the Lake District on Saturday after the 30kg (66lb) dog would not walk any further.

The area, which has loose boulders is on the bank of Wast Water, underneath Illgill Head and Whin Rigg.

WMRT said the dog and two walkers were safely brought to the landing area and walked back to their campsite.
