FEDERAL WAY, WA - He's not quite a bad boy, but Cisco the dog did get himself into trouble on Monday night.
Cisco got stuck down a steep embankment near Puget Sound and had no way to get himself back up. South King Fire and Rescue responded to the scene and mounted a rescue.
Firefighters placed a ladder down the embankment, and then one firefighter climbed down to retrieve Cisco. The firefighters rigged a special rope system to hoist Cisco up the embankment.
