Petty Officer Jon Tumilson, who was killed in Afghanistan, is guarded one last time by his faithful dog, Hawkeye, at his funeral. While this is difficult to even post, I'm always so moved by the loyalty our furry family members give us.
The heartbreaking photo taken by his cousin, Lisa Pembleton, shows Tumilson’s dog Hawkeye lying by the casket. At the funeral in Iowa, Hawkeye paid his last respects, walking up to the casket, lying down in front of it, and heaving a sigh.
The 35-year-old Tumilson died Aug. 6, when a rocket-propelled grenade disabled a helicopter. It crashed, killing 30 Americans and eight Afghans.

So incredibly beautiful, and almost unbearable. Thanks for posting, Randy.
