The RNLI's lifeboats launch to save human lives, but sometimes their crews find themselves rescuing unexpected casualties: animals in peril at sea. This heartwarming collection brings together remarkable true stories of dogs swept off cliffs, horses trapped by tides, stranded dolphins, and even wayward sheep—all saved by the courage and quick thinking of volunteer lifeboat crews around Britain and Ireland.

From dramatic cliff rescues to race-against-time missions in treacherous waters, these accounts reveal the extraordinary lengths RNLI volunteers go to protect all creatures in distress. Each tale showcases not only the dedication of the crews but also the deep bond between humans and animals, making this an uplifting read for anyone who loves the sea, wildlife, or simply a good rescue story with a happy ending.
