Wordless Wednesday - Hawkeye Dog Faithful To The End

Hi Gary.

Very cool picture and story...

So sad the loss of life in these wars...

Thanks for sharing,

Ken

Gary, it brought tears to my eyes when I saw the picture.  Pets are so special and they love us unconditionally.  My 2 cats took turn to sleep with me when I was sick last month, they don't usually see me laying in bed during the day, they knew something was wrong.  So precious.

Gary,

I saw this on TV a couple of days ago. This dog loved him so deeply. I hope they find a good home for him or he will grieve himself to death. I understand we must have war to remain free but it is horrible when men have to give up their lives. So sorry for the family.

Hi Gary, I had seen this on the news and it was certainly a reminder of the love I knew with my lillte ones. When a pet's love is reciprocated, it is so very powerful and affects both family members. It is both sad and touching when the love is so strong and life as we know it, ends.

God bless those who gave their lives so that we can be protected from harm. I have a brother who is in the Navy so I definitely appreciate what the military has done for us. Thanks for sharing Gary.

Just behind the coffin was also a photo of this man and his dog...this is one of those emotion evoking photos that make you want to cry. Bless our soldiers. Thank God for our pets as well. 

There is nothing I can add to this, just wanted to thank you for sharing this story of someone who gave his life for us and his loyal companion.  God bless all the young men and women fighting for our freedoms.

Gary  There have been many books and stories  about the love and loyalty of mans best friend .This is a beautiful story . Spell dog backwards .

Gary-That is a true example of why they call a dog man's best friend. I remember a story from LONG ago about something like this except it wasn't a soldier but the loyalty is the same.

Wow, Gary!  This was a hard one to llook at.  Dogs are just amazing creatures.

On Wordpress the other day, a suggested blog topic was write a to write a story in six words or less.  Their example was:  Baby shoes for sale. Never worn.   The photograph in your post says so much.  Had I commented on the six word blog, I think I'd say:  "Dog stays by flag draped coffin."  That was such a powerful photograph above.   

I saw this on the news the other night. It was amazing as if this loyal friend knew exactly what this is.

This is a heartbreaking photograph - I blogged about it also last week.  These heroes paid the ultimate price - We cannot say thanks enough.  Thanks for sharing. 

This one leaves me speechless with a lump in my throat.

Gary - saw this in the news and what a touching story. That is a true loyalty. Thanks for sharing.

My daughter told me about this when I was in LA last week, but I hadn't seen the picture.  Wow... heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time!  Thanks for sharing the story and the pic Gary!

Gary:  This is hard to look at, dogs are such faithful animals!  Such a loss for everyone when those Navy Seals were killed....
