She has to be OK, I pleaded silently to myself. She has to be.
Weve alerted the RNLI and theyre sending a lifeboat out.
The RNLI? I said, surprised. They do that?
Saved from the Waves is a heart-warming collection of first-hand accounts from RNLI volunteers of the myriad dangers they face during each mission to save beloved pets, wildlife and livestock.
This remarkable book shines a light on the bravery of the volunteers, and the necessity of these rescues not only to save animals at risk of drowning, but to prevent people putting themselves in danger when trying to save a cherished furry friend.
Each mission requires courage, determination and an unrelenting commitment to helping those in danger. Each day brings a new challenge for the extraordinary volunteer crews who are the lifeblood of the RNLI.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea, providing a lifeboat service, lifeguards and safety education. The charitys founder, Sir William Hillary, vowed that with courage, nothing is impossible. His vision of forming a rescue service funded by voluntary donations became a reality in 1824 and, almost 200 years on, the charity has saved more than 142,500 lives. Everyone who gives their time or support to the RNLI is a lifesaver.
