A video has emerged of a woman rescuing her dog from an embankment on the River Thames in London.

The footage, which was captured near Kew earlier this month, shows the woman struggling to carry her small white dog up a ladder after it slipped a huge distance down to the water level.

After minutes of failed attempts, she manages to haul the naughty pup back up to dry land and is helped to safety by some passersby.
