Move over, Lassie: Dog goes for help to save man
On Wednesday afternoon, the man-- whose identity is not being released by authorities -- tucked a note into his pet dog 's harness with a hastily written plea for help. Because early that morning he had been unable to relocate, pushing the floor of the makeshift home he had constructed in the woods near Tumwater. "This was his last-ditch effort. He thought he was going to die," stated Detective Jen Kolb of the Tumwater Police Department. Thankfully, a lady who regularly walked her pet dog through the woods acknowledged Buddy and observed the note. The word "HELP" was scribbled in large font, with the plea: "Send help. No joke. Can not walk.". The woman rapidly dialed 911, however exactly what was missing out on from the SOS was the man's name or any indication of where he was.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
