Watching this image of Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson’s dog guarding his best friend coffin makes me all teary. He’s refusing to leave his side, as 1500 mourners witnessed.
Tumilson was one of the Navy seals who were killed by Talibans when a rocket-propeller grenade took down their Chinook chopper on August 6. [Today]

Concerning dogs. The dogs would be put down if thier handler was killed. If the handler lost their dog, a lot of the time, that handler would become very depressed because that dog is part of them and their family. It’s very sad I know but sometimes it’s the best thing to do :-(
