A spokesperson for the team said: "It was a cloudy and showery morning when we were called by Cumbria Police about a dog that had fallen approximately 45m into the main quarry at Hodge Close.
"We despatched two Land Rovers and soon located the dog, Findlay. A gentleman who was climbing in the quarry was with him.
"Sadly, after administering CPR, Findlay could not be resuscitated.
"We put him on to our stretcher and a rope lift system was used to get the stretcher up to the entrance of a water-logged tunnel where we could walk out.
"Beautiful Findlay was nearly three years old.
"He was a much loved and happy boy, who was also a therapy dog, helping children and adults with his calm and friendly nature, and big heart.
"Our thoughts are with his owners, as well as his extended family."
