Hero Dog Who Protected Dog Friend Named “Washingtonian of the Day”

Who is a good dog? Finally, we have the answer: Tillie. Tillie is a good dog.
What did Tillie do? Tillie stood watch over her friend Phoebe, who fell into a cistern, for a week. Yes she did.

Tillie is a setter-spaniel mix. Phoebe is a basset hound. Woof.
Who gave Tillie the “Washingtonian of the day” award on Thursday? The governor did. That’s right. Jay Inslee did. He is a good governor.
