He can be seen sitting by their legs as they stroke his back and call him a “good lad” following the ordeal.
Bruno has since been returned to his owners safely, and the team from RNLI Llandudno Lifeboat have been hailed as heroes online.
Sharing the footage online, a spokesperson said: “Bruno’s day at the coast took a wild turn.

“We launched to reports of a dog struggling to stay afloat in the water.
“The crew quickly reached Bruno and brought him to safety – tired, but wagging his tail again.
“If your dog enters the water and you’ve tried to retrieve them by calling their name, don’t go in after them.
