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".

Here's the video...

I saw this earlier. They said the dog let out a big sigh when he laid by the coffin. I was not sure if this was his personal pet or a military dog that he worked with, but it is very sad and touching. May he RIP and may the dog find comfort in his family and friends of his lost friend. I think Stu would like this story. Hopes she sees it.
