A heart-warming collection of first-hand accounts from RNLI volunteers, 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.

In this collection of heart-wrenching and life-affirming missions, we hear blow-by-blow descriptions of some of the most dramatic rescues from the last 20 years. We experience these through the eyes of the lifesavers as they must make life-or-death decisions, face fierce conditions and tackle difficult and dangerous situations. But we also see the optimism, passion and courage that is crucial to a successful rescue and experience the genuine joy felt by the volunteer crews and lifeguards in being a part of something so important.

RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) volunteer crew members, lifeguards, and the people they rescue share what it’s really like to save a life at sea, how it feels to be rescued – and even what happens when the tides turn, and it’s up to you to be your own lifesaver. From launching to rescues in (and out) of the water, to being on call in a global pandemic, hear the real stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
