At funeral, dog mourns the death of Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan

At funeral, dog mourns the death of Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan | The Lookout - Yahoo! News



"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," Scott Stump writes.

A video clip of the mourning dog can be seen here. KIMT-TV of Mason City, Iowa, covered the funeral.

The photo on the right was taken by Tumilson's cousin, Lisa Pembleton, and posted on Facebook. Pembleton wrote on her Facebook page, "To say that he was an amazing man doesn't do him justice. The loss of Jon to his family, military family, and friends is immeasurable."

The reason I failed this post is because if you look carefully, the video is a second video looped over and over. The actual clip is 3seconds. If you don't believe me just look at the person at the top right.

The media likes to manipulate things to get an emotional reaction and this is a perfect example.

Do you think the dog actually knew its owner died from an RPG? In it's mind for all it knew, it could have just been tired and laying down.

You can fail me all you want, but sometimes you really have to see things as they are, and not what they appear to be.

Let's see a cat do something like this. They'd probably jump on the casket and claw your face off.

Get a dog and die and we will see what happens.

Sad, but really... nothing that dramatic to pull a string, especially considered it was just a looped video.

That story about the dog that kept waiting at the same place for its owner (who past away) to return
is more sad.
