loyal dog

A man's best friend shows emotion to the presence of his master at his funeral service. music by Harold Britton titled "Canon in D" composed by Johann Pachelbel,( very short video looped for emphasis).

During the funeral service of Navy Seal hero Jon Tumilson, his loyal dog Hawkeye lays down with a sigh near his casket.

Jon Tumilson, a Navy SEAL, was one of 30 Americans killed in Afghanistan on Aug. 6 when a rocket-propelled grenade took out a U.S. Chinook helicopter. He was mourned at a service in Rockford, Iowa, attended by 1,500 family members, friends--and Hawkeye, Tumilson's dog.

The Labrador retriever was such an important part of Tumilson's life that the friends and family of the San Diego resident called the dog his "son."

When Tumilson's friend Scott Nichols walked to the front of the room to speak, Hawkeye followed, Today.com reports. "As Nichols prepared to memorialize his friend, Hawkeye dutifully laid down near the casket".

I'm fortunate to have lots of land .I've adopted many unwanted dogs[8] over the years[[and a few that age has taken away now ]] . What i've learned is that all dogs are good dog's as long as their owner's treat them well and return them the love they deserve . This dog's owner[friend] must have been great person . rip sir, and thank you for your service .
