A DOG had to be rescued from the roof of a property in Tavistock on Monday.

A fire crew was sent to the report of a dog stuck on the roof at Boughthayes just after 8pm.

The medium-sized dog was reported as stuck by its owner after it had chased a cat onto the roof of a neighbouring building at the bottom of a steep garden.

The fire crew rescued the dog, which was uninjured, using a short extension ladder.
