A dog which ran off with deer in thick fog on Dorset's Jurassic Coast has been found after a two-hour search.

Uska the Labrador disappeared while being walked at Dancing Ledge near Swanage shortly before 18:00 GMT on Saturday.

HM Coastguard teams from Swanage and St Albans battled darkness and muddy conditions as they scoured the area for the lost dog.

She was reunited with her owners - visiting from Belgium - after her tracker signal re-activated, leading to an emotional reunion.
