I admit it made my eyes water. - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

As a dog person myself, I thought some of you may appreciate this too.
There is a short video also.

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.

Despite what has been done to his body post-mortem, I'm sure there is still a scent there which the dog recognizes.

My wife is the same way. Show the guys wife sleeping on the floor next to the casket and nothing. Show this dog and the water works are on full blast.

It's for those who gave America everything that we should keep her strong and free from tyranny; foreign and domestic.

It's always more sad with a being who had no expectation that it would happen and will never understand why it happened.

Of course, this works the other way around, too...
