Dog mourns at casket of fallen Navy SEAL

[True Earthling]

Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson lay in a coffin, draped in an American flag, in front of a tearful audience mourning his death in Afghanistan. Soon an old friend appeared, and like a fellow soldier on a battlefield, his loyal dog refused to leave him behind.
Tumilson’s Labrador retriever, Hawkeye, was photographed lying by Tumilson’s casket in a heart-wrenching image taken at the funeral service in Tumilson’s hometown of Rockford, Iowa, earlier this week. Hawkeye walked up to the casket at the beginning of the service and then dropped down with a heaving sigh as about 1,500 mourners witnessed a dog accompanying his master until the end, reported CBS.

Don't people read the forum before posting. Maybe I should be a mod. I don't usually bring this kind of stuff up in posts. I never have. But sometimes it's just ridiculous.

5. It's just as good the first time I saw it

Dogs are amazing. To show grief like this is so rarely seen. Great picture and RIP, soldier. Let's support the troops the best way we can: by bringing them home.

Yeah, maybe you should be a Mod. Likely they'd laugh you out of the hot tub on this one. Then, you'd learn.
