The rescue operation for a Jack Russell called Rose is going into it's 6th day in Halifax.

People from all over the country have driven to the area to help - after the pup got stuck in a cliff face near to Illingworth.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service visited the site twice last week but said they were unable to help because the gap where Rose the terrier is stuck is too narrow. They say they can't drill into the rock on the land at Mixenden without damaging the entire structure.

They have been able to get food and water to Rose.
