re: Dog Watches Guard Over Its Trapped 'Best Friend' for a Week After They Got Lost

"A community member said he saw a dog for the past few days coming up to his property, come up near him but not all the way, and then go back down a trail to a ravine behind the house," Carey told ABC News. "It turned out the dog was Tillie trying to get help for Phoebe, who had gotten stuck."

Carey said she immediately went out to the area to investigate and was relieved to discover Phoebe stuck in a cistern down the ravine -- and most amazing of all -- Tillie standing just above the cistern watching guard over Phoebe.

Later, a cop was called to investigate how the dog fell into the cistern, and shot both dogs
