A DOG has sadly died after it collapsed on a beach in Prestatyn earlier this week.

The Rhyl Coastguard team was called to the incident on Barkby Beach shortly after 1pm on Monday, January 2.

This led to the team helping to take the dog to his owners’ vehicle at the beach’s car park.

The dog was then transferred to an emergency vet in Chester, but despite their best efforts, its organs began to fail and it died later that day.

A member of the family who owned the dog confirmed to the Journal that it had died, adding: “On their behalf, I would like to thank the amazing rescue team for all of their help.

Rhyl Coastguard Rescue Team said on Monday: “The team were tasked this afternoon to help the owners of a dog that had collapsed on the beach in Prestatyn.

“Due to the size of the dog, and the nature of its distress, the owners were unable to move the dog. It was also quite a distance to walk it back to land.

“The team assembled on scene, devised a plan and were able to assist in extracting the dog from the beach, back to the car park, using our multi-purpose carrier and securing straps.

“The dog was then transferred to the owners’ vehicle at Barkby Beach car park, for onward transportation to an emergency vet.”
