Brave lifeboatman
A lifeboat crewman has been bitten by a dog as he rescued the animal from the sea off Porthcawl, south Wales.

The crewman was part of the Porthcawl inshore lifeboat called on Sunday to help a labrador called Bonny which had swum out to sea chasing a rugby ball.

Simon Emms was bitten by Bonny as he tried to bring her aboard the lifeboat.

Bonny's owner and a friend who had gone into the water to try to rescue Bonny were treated for cold, before being reunited with the pet.

Must have been Gavin Henson's dog if it swam a long way out to sea
