The photo showing the bond between felled Navy SEAL Jon Tomlinson and his dog Hawkeye has captured the attention of the Web.

If dogs don’t have souls, they sure fake it well.

I’ve heard that all those SEALS where the ones that got Bin-Laden. Anyone know anything? This whole thing needs to be investigated if true.

I hope the “it’s just an animal” crowd at FR will have the decency to stay off this thread.

First thought I had was cleanup for Hussein.
Someone here ASSURED us that wasn’t the case.
Hard to know who to believe about anything anymore.
I sure don’t believe anything from the White Hut.

Dogs do have souls and they understand a lot more than we give them credit for. God Bless Hawkeye and his fallen master. They will be reunited again some day.

That’s awesome. I do sleep more peacefully at night knowing that my dogs are guarding the house (no, not my greyhounds. They’re not watch dogs).

Well put.

There are no words for this.
Dogs are just the best... so loyal.

God bless them both.
