Tille is famous!
Ok, not really famous, but she was on TV last night. PBS did a show about smart animals on NOVA scienceNow. The featured dog, Chaser is Tille’s friend and we were invited to the filming. Tille and Gervais are in the show for about 2 seconds while Tille is jumping jumps.
Chaser’s owner is Doc Pilley, a retired Wofford professor and fabulous dog trainer. Doc is a great friend and advises us on training Tille. Sometimes, Tille gets to join Chaser when she is training too.
The episode called “How Smart are Animals?” is online. You can watch it on:

Tille's spot is near the beginning – don’t blink or you might miss it. The whole episode is fascinating and worth watching.
As you know, Tille got her start at Greystone in Dog Camp where she is loved by all the campers in her classes. She made her stage debut as Toto in The Wizard of OZ at camp. Tille is already looking forward to camp this summer and seeing all of you!
Have a great day!
