Dog rescued from steep cliff in German Flatts   GERMAN FLATTS,
N.Y. (WKTV) - A very cute beagle got himself in quite a
predicament Sunday afternoon in Herkimer County and it took a
very delicate rescue to get him to safety.  The dog named Apollo
managed to get himself up part of the way on a huge embankment
along the Fulmer Creek near Route 168 in German Flatts at some
point on Sunday.  Around 3:00 Sunday afternoon, his owner, who
had been searching for him noticed he was high above the ground
nestled in a small crevice of the cliff.  Rescuers from the
Mohawk, Ilion and East Herkimer fire departments responded and
had to have one firefighter repel about 250 feet down the huge
cliff to carefully and successfuly take Apollo up to safety.
Apollo's owner, Eugene Tucker says he noticed that Apollo was
missing Sunday morning and he was searching and searching for
his best friend for hours until he heard Apollo crying.  He
looked down the creek bed and there he was.  Tucker wanted to
thank each and every firefighte
