Welsh lifeboat rescue sheep and dog in separate cliff falls on same day

New Quay (Welsh: Cei Newydd) is a Welsh seaside town in Ceredigion and lies on the Ceredigion Coast Path. The town's lifeboat volunteers rescued a sheep and a dog after separate incidents when the animals fell from cliffs on  New Year's Eve. The Audrey LJ inshore lifeboat was launched in the early afternoon after Murray the dog had fallen 50ft (15m) from the cliffs when walking on the coastal path with his owners. The crew found and rescued the dog, who had sustained a broken leg, from a small cove. They handed him over to the Cardigan Coastguard rescue team on Aberporth beach where Murray was reunited with his owners. 

On their way back to New Quay after the successful mission, the crew were called to a second incident by Milford Haven Coastguard, this time to a sheep that had fallen over a cliff near Llangrannog.  They found the sheep, which had remarkably survived unscathed after an 80ft (24m) fall, and was stranded on rocks. The sheep was brought on board and taken to Llangrannog where it was handed over to the New Quay Coastguard team.
