Keith Johnson, 84, could not move after he fell and broke his hip. But his faithful dog Gita sat in the road until a car stopped and she led a deputy deep in the woods to help her injured human.

Gita, a 13-year-old rescue dog is being hailed a "true hero" for flagging help after her elderly owner fell and injured his leg in Washington state last month, Stevens County Sheriff's Office said in a news release.

Deputy Colton Wright was patrolling a rural wooded area in Stevens County when he spotted a dog sitting in the middle of the road.

The deputy followed the dog, who led him to a small summer cabin. As he was checking around the area, he found "an elderly male laying on the ground calling for help a short distance from the cabin." tinyurl.com/yc2pnnj9

It’s like a billion little stars are spelling out her name. Taylor Swift is now the richest female musician with an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion.

According to Forbes magazine, the “Untouchable” singer has passed Rihanna (worth $1.4 billion). Swift’s unstoppable Eras Tour (worth an estimated $600 million in royalties and touring), music catalog (worth north of $600 million) and real estate (worth an estimated $125 million) are part of the reason.
