Saved from the Waves: Animal Rescues of the RNLI

She has to be OK, I pleaded silently to myself. She has to be. ‘We’ve alerted the RNLI and they’re sending a lifeboat out.’ ‘The RNLI?’ I said, surprised. ‘They do that?’ Saved from the Waves is a heart-warming collection of first-hand accounts from RNLI volunteers of the myriad dangers they face during each mission to save beloved pets, wildlife and livestock. This remarkable book shines a light on the bravery of the volunteers, and the necessity of these rescues – not only to save animals at risk of drowning, but to prevent people putting themselves in danger when trying to save a cherished furry friend. Each mission requires courage, determination and an unrelenting commitment to helping those in danger. Each day brings a new challenge for the extraordinary volunteer crews who are the lifeblood of the RNLI. In Saved from the Waves, the RNLI presents a compelling biography of their volunteers, their top-notch emergency services, and their unwavering commitment to survival and welfare. This nonfiction piece is a testament to their courage in the face of the most challenging nautical situations. For fans of Jonathan Franklin (Cabin Fever), Jerry Grayson (Film Pilot), Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton (The Heat of the Moment), Adrian Bleese (Above the Law), and John Allen (Cairngorm John).
