Dog Won’t Leave His Fallen Navy Seal Masters Side

by Brad | 24th August 2011

US Navy SEAL, Jon Tumilson had a very close friend in his life, his dog, Hawkeye. Tumilson, a former San Diego resident, was killed August 6 in the Chinook helicopter crash that also claimed the lives of 29 other American service members.

The memorial service took place at Rockford Senior High on Friday August 19th,2011. The loyal pooch Hawkeye was one of the over 1,500 in attendance. The photo that touched The Pet Doctor staff is the one below. Hawkeye would not leave Jon’s side during the whole service. We have also found a video of the news report. If you have any comments you would like to share on the photo or video please feel free to leave
them below. The picture was taken by Lisa Pembleton

    The bond between a pooch and his mate is one of the most amazing relationships anyone can ever have. This picture captures the fact that dogs do feel love and heartbreak.
    Thank you for sharing this. I’ve got a 17yr old mutt that’s getting steak and eggs today because of your compassion!!!
