Speaking about the operation, Clevedon Coastguard Rescue Team said: "We strongly advise never to enter the water in order to save another life because things can escalate very quickly."We can be there quickly, and it's easier if we only have one life to save."Crews from RNLI Portishead have given this advice for dog owners if their pet enters the sea.
