Retired policeman rescues missing dachshund from flooded quarry

Dramatic footage shows the moment a retired policeman saved a mischievous dachshund from a flooded quarry after she went missing for 26 hours.

Juan Kinley, a former DCI on the Isle of Man, heroically came to the rescue of Bebe, a two-year-old pooch, who was found on a ledge just a few feet above the water.
