A dramatic storm turns an ordinary working day for an ordinary working dog into one of excitement, near tragedy and heroics. In Michael Foreman's evocative and gripping tale of a rescue at sea, builders, an artist, the barber, a barman, a bridegroom and a dog perform an extraordinarily courageous feat. But it's all in a day's work in this busy Cornish village.
