MOUNT MORRIS, N.Y. -- A dog stuck about halfway down a 400-foot cliff in a gorge was rescued by a police officer who used ropes to reach the stranded canine. State Park Police Sgt. Ryan Clancy was lowered down by ropes Monday and hauled back up with the dog named Skippy, who had gone missing in the park two days earlier. The 6-year-old hunting hound-border collie mix was returned to his owner, who lives near the park.
