NEWSER) – A heroically loyal Washington state dog pulled a Lassie this week, bringing help to an equally adorable pooch stuck at the bottom of a cistern, KING 5 reports. Tillie and Phoebe had been missing for a week Monday when a resident alerted volunteers from the Vashon Island Pet Protectors that a strange dog had been repeatedly approaching them, then heading back into a wooded ravine nearby. Volunteers searched the ravine, which was miles away from where the dogs had last been seen, and finally heard a single bark when they called out Tillie’s name.

They found Tillie lying next to an old cistern inside of which Phoebe was perched on a small pile of concrete to stay dry. “For nearly a week, Tillie stayed by her side with the exception of the few minutes of each day when she went for help,”

Every dog I have ever had has been a better person than most people.

My dogs do the same thing. I only have one crate and if I put one in it because of muddy paws or I’m leaving, etc., the other dog will stay by the crate. They’re both dachshunds so they also look super sad when one is in the crate.
Phoebe was sitting on the dog treats, Tillie wasn’t gonna let her have all of them. 🙂
Good ‘pups’, both of them.
