Thanks to a loyal setter and a group of volunteers, two dogs were found safe after a week lost in the woods in the state of Washington. Tillie, the kind dog, stayed with her doggie friend Phoebe for a week. She left each day to go and find help. Phoebe, a basset hound, was trapped in a dry concrete pool in a ravine where Tillie stood guard.
The nonprofit animal rescue organization Vashon Island Pet Protectors had posted photos of the dogs on their Facebook page, hoping someone would spot them. On Sept. 14, they received a call saying that while they were out on their property, a "reddish" dog had come up to them a few times, before promptly heading back into a ravine.
Based on the tip, volunteers made their way into the ravine, said Amy Carey with VIPP. After a bit of searching, the volunteers heard a small response when they called out to Tillie. A few minutes later they found her lying beside the old pool with her head resting on the concrete wall. "They knew that meant Phoebe was inside the well. Every breath was held and every doggie prayer offered that the effort of searching the well would end in finding her safe," Carey said. Both dogs were cold and hungry but are doing well.
Carey reminds people who lose their dogs to keep looking. "Hope is an awfully hard thing to keep open and alive in the face of heartbreak, but it is so important for happy endings for missing pets." she said.
