Musings from the Merse
Friday, September 12, 2008
It's a dog's life! is the headline heralding this summers most pointless story in the Berwickshire:
WHEN walking along a coastal pathway near Eyemouth last Thursday, a dog owner got a shock when his collie dog Ben fell over a cliff and onto the rocks below.
He immediately called the Coastguard who tasked Eyemouth lifeboat to assist. Due to the location of the dog, the crew launched their inflatable boat to get ashore.
Once ashore, a crewman found that the dog was uninjured and looking anxious to get back to its owner. He managed to collar the dog and was about to take it to safety when it scrambled back up the cliff and was captured by the waiting Coastguard team.
What cub (npi) reporter produced this drivel? Its on a par with the world's most boring headline;
NO ONE HURT IN SMALL EARTHQUAKE
Lets hope the silly season is over by the time we return from Norn Iron
