Firefighters spent more than two hours rescuing a dog who was stuck in Croft Quarry, near Enderby.
Crews were called to the quarry just before midday yesterday, to reports of a trapped dog.
An engine from Hinckley station attended the incident, as well as an engine from Southern station and the technical rescue team.
Upon arrival they found that the dog, which was a springer spaniel called Marley, was stuck on a ledge in the quarry.
One of the firefighters climbed down to the ledge to reach the dog.
The pair were then brought back up to safety.
Marley, who was not injured, was re-united with his owner and crews left the incident at 2.30pm.
