The owners of Poppy, an English Springer Spaniel, always knew she was something special. But now that she’s survived an amazing fall, the rest of the world does too.

Poppy was chasing seagulls when she fell from an East Sussex cliff to the sea some 300 feet below. Remarkably the dog swam to shore and waited patiently until lifeguards could come to her rescue.

They found that Poppy suffered a partially collapsed lung in the fall, but after a visit to the vet she’s ay-okay.

What an incredible story of survival! I’ll bet she resists the urge to chase seagulls in the future!
