Alton Towers has hired an unusual recruit for it’s waterpark this summer to ensure swimmers remain safe – a lifedog!

To assist trained lifeguards, Max, a newfoundland dog, has been employed and is proving popular at Alton Towers Waterpark.  The Sunday Mercury reports that “Newfoundland dogs are renowned for their lifesaving abilities ” and I’m sure Max will quickly prove his worth at Alton Towers.
