A SMALL shark was the catch of the day for this labrador at Seascale beach.

catch of the day: Webber, the 10-month-old Labrador, with a bull huss shark on Seascale beach on Tuesday

Dog owner Davin Dhillon captured the moment 10-month-old Webber ran out of the waves with a bull huss, a species of catshark, during a walk on Tuesday.

Mr Dhillon, a freelancer photographer, said: “He came back with this – it looked like a little shark.

“I’m training him up to be a gun dog to retrieve birds but it’s strange that this is the first thing he’s caught!

“It was uncanny. I have never seen anything like that along the beach.”

Mr Dhillon, of Egremont, said he managed to distract Webber from playing with the shark. “I gave him a treat, put him on the lead and we left the shark to find its way back into the sea,” he added.
