COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) — A dog that had been lost for more than two weeks was rescued after Animal Law Enforcement officers got a report of a dog stuck on a small ledge on a cliff about 50 yards above Fountain Creek in Colorado Springs. Officials say a man who lives nearby supplied the rescuers with the mountaineering harness and rope — and Officer Barker repelled down to reach “Jessie Lee.”
