A Newfoundland dog has qualified as the first canine lifeguard in Britain.
Five-year-old Bilbo and his owner patrol a busy beach at Sennen Cove in Cornwall. The clever canine is trained to swim to the person in danger, pulling a board on a rope behind them. The person can then grab on to the board and the dog will pull them to safety.
Since Bilbo has been on lifeguard duty, the number of visitors to the beach has soared.
