A rescue operation was launched in the Scottish Highlands to save a dog that had become stranded on a rock as the tide washed in.
The alarm was raised after a member of the public spotted stricken Skye around 100m from Erbusaig Bay shore at around 5pm on Saturday.
Kyle RNLI arrived on the scene five minutes later and coaxed the "petrified" dog to safety.
She was then reunited with her anxious owners.
A spokesperson for Kyle RNLI said: "We're glad Skye was unharmed from her ordeal, and we are only too happy to help.
"The last thing we want is for someone to enter the water to try and assist their pet, only to get into difficulty and end up as a casualty themselves."
