A dog is rescued after ending up adrift about three miles out to sea off Bamburgh. According to reports, the Alsatian, named Bruce, was playing in the waves near the shore on Sunday afternoon when his owner put him into an inflatable boat and swam alongside. The dog later appears to float farther from land, prompting attention from rescuers. A two-person crew spots Bruce in the water and carries out the rescue, bringing him safely back from the sea. The accounts describe a close-range, sea-based operation after the dog is spotted offshore in the kayak/inflatable boat. No details are provided in the supplied material about injuries, the dog’s condition afterward, or the exact circumstances that led to Bruce drifting away from the owner. The incident is presented as a successful rescue driven by timely spotting and intervention by the small crew.
