A ROUTINE dog walk turned into a nightmare for a dog and its owner today.
Despite being on a lead, 12-year old family pet Ellie wandered through railings on a creek bridge near Motney Hill, Lower Rainham, and plunged 20ft. It took four firefighters to pull Ellie out of the mud near Motney Hill, Lower Rainham, near Gillingham.

“It wasn’t easy to pull her out,” said leading firefighter Paul Foster.
