Crews from Chiswick RNLI were called to help @capitalofficial breakfast DJ Jordan North @jordannorth1 after he stepped in to rescue a dog in the Thames
On Monday evening a member of the public called 999 after Jordan had stepped from a pontoon into the water to help a Labrador struggling to stay afloat
Thames Commander Gavin Simmons alongside his crew found Jordan sat on a float lift with the dog on his lap
Commander Simmons said: “We are on call to help all those who find themselves in difficulty on the water, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, even our beloved pets! While we’d always encourage people to call 999 and ask for the Coast Guard to get us tasked to the incident prior to entering the water themselves, we’re happy that in this instance we were able to help and Jordan and the dog safely back to dry land”
