A dog stranded on a cliff edge for nearly two weeks has been reunited with her owners. Peppa had been missing for 12 days after disappearing near the Llŷn Coastal Path, Gwynedd.
She was found on towering cliffs between Ogof Pren-coch and Porth Orion, near Anelog, on the northern tip of the Llŷn Peninsula. Spotting her were a fisherman and two walkers on the coastal path.
Abersoch Coastguard Rescue Team (CRT) said Peppa was in a “tricky” position on the cliff. The coastguard’s helicopter was called to the scene along with teams from the RNLI Porthdinllaen, Aberdaron Coastguard Rescue and Criccieth Coastguard Rescue.
They carried out an extensive search before embarking on a “long and difficult rescue”. Sharing photos from the incident, Abersoch CRT said: “We were informed that a dog had been missing since 12 August and, unlikely as it seems, Peppa matches the description down to the pink collar.”
Friends of the owners agreed to look after Peppa until she could be reunited with her owners. Commenting soon after the rescue, Rebecca Hull said: “We have Peppa here with us. She is doing incredibly well, considering her ordeal.
“Her owners are on their way to be reunited. Thank you to all involved in her rescue. What a lucky dog she is! The happiness from her family is beyond words.”

On social media, Suzanna Clark said her husband was among those who had alerted the emergency services after spotting Peppa. "This photo brought a tear to our eye, knowing she’s safe and well, and family are on their way,” she said. “I can’t imagine how the family feel.”
The rescue earned widespread praise but it also left some people with questions. “How did the dog end up there?” pondered one woman. “Lucky you were there and it survived.”
