Narrative:

Lost green hydraulic system. Called dispatched, declared an emergency. ATC landed us on runway 26. Asked for a tug to be out there, no tug came. Landed uneventfully, taxied to gate under our own power, stopped short and asked to be tugged in. First officer should be commended for his superior performance during this incident -- his actions were superb in this matter.
