Quince the dog thankfully landed on a ledge only 50ft down the 300ft drop at Porthkidney Beach yesterday.

Crews were able to rescue him unharmed but say it should serve as a reminder to owners to always keep their pets on the lead while near any cliff edge.

He was safely reunited with his owner who was said to be very grateful.
