Devil Dogs take care of their own - including the ones with four legs.
Semper Fi ...

As a retired military officer myself, and someone who has had to put several dogs down due to illness, this story really hits home.
Saying goodbye to a loyal dog, much less one that has served our nation, must have been incredibly difficult for this Marine.
There are lots of articles on FR and in the news that make us frustrated, angry, and cynical.
May we be reminded that God gave us incredible animals like Cena, and that our nation is still worth defending.

I hear you.
This has got to be one of the most heart wrenching and beautiful pictures of the year.

I lost an English setter to bone cancer. It’s a bad way to go. Good to know this dog had such good care towards the end.

Cena, a grateful nation of good Americans is very proud of you.

Over the years I have had, loved dearly and lost many dogs. I have been with each of them at the time of their death and always had the euthanasia done in my home where they were comfortable.
Dog spelled backward is God.

I rescue many dogs. They are family. Never put one down without it being in my arms.

I think that those are the saddest eyes I have ever seen (the dog’s). He must have been in great pain. RIP, Cena.

I love dogs and have lost my share and it is heart wrenching. To lose a dog that served with you and served our country? My god, almost too much to bear. This dog was obviously loved. Ooh rah marine......
To: SkyPilot
I’m at work struggling hard to keep from crying. Cena’s story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once. For me, dogs make this world liveable,so when mine must leave a piece of me goes with them. Semper fi and go in peace faithful friend.

Looks like my Dad’s old dog, Duke.
Died the day my Dad couldn’t take care of him anymore. He just went to sleep and didn’t wake up. Dad had a brain bleed.
Now I have to step away.
