The dog of slain Petty Officer Jon Tumilson refused to leave his side during the Navy SEAL’s funeral earlier this week in Rockford, Iowa. The heartbreaking photo taken by his cousin, Lisa Pembleton, shows Tumilson’s dog Hawkeye lying by the casket.

Navy SEAL U.S. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Jon T. Tumilson was among the 30 American troops killed August 6 when Taliban insurgents downed their Chinook helicopter with a rocket-propelled grenade. At his funeral in Iowa, his dog Hawkeye paid his last respects, walking up to the casket, lying down in front of it, and heaving a sigh.

So sad...

I'd argue that you are less than human if you can watch that and not feel a sharp pain in your heart.

Ouch.

Jesus Christ... DON'T watch the video!!!

It's really fucking amazing the bond that develops between people and their animals...

Yesterday I dropped Belle off at the vet to get her spayed... Normally, she could give a flying fuck about me... at the dog park, around the house, everywhere... As I was leaving the exam room, she sat there and whined, trying to watch me as the door shut. Never felt that close of a bond to her until that very moment.

Wow. What a picture.

Two honourable souls right there.

I understand the bond fully. Everybody who knows me knows I`d rather live on the streets with my dogs than in a house without them. It wouldn`t even be up for debate.

RIP SEAL, and I hope somebody takes good care of your best friend.

I could not have said it better myself. There is not much I would not do for Diesel including antibiotic injections starting next week.

As far as the black lab in the story I read that he is going to one of the SEAL’s friends that spoke at the funeral.

My boy

No greater loyalty will one find than that of a man and his dog.

na, eventually you'll get old and that shit will quit working for you. Even as an old man your dog will still listen to commands.
