A dog and two people are back on dry land after a dramatic rescue from the River Liffey in Dublin.

Both people jumped into the river to try and save the pet, but had to be rescued by Dublin Fire Brigade.

Three units were called to the scene outside the Four Courts at 1.45pm this afternoon.

The Fire Brigade's swift water rescue swimmers from Phibsborough and Tara Street Stations also helped in the operation.

The people involved didn't need to be taken to hospital.

Dublin Fire Brigade says it's now looking to contact the dogs owner.

They stayed with him the whole time till the boats came, he was very calm with them. Tears in me eyes. pic.twitter.com/znFxfvnnCP
