Senior Yorkie Talker | A soldiers dog final act of loyalty To anyone who may have missed this story, please take the time to view. It is about Hawkeye, the chocolate lab that remained by his master's side at his funeral. I don't find the picture sad... I think it a beautiful view of a loyal friend. Rest in peace Jon. Thank you for all you have done to protect us. Navy SEAL Jon Tumilsons Labrador retriever Hawkeye was loyal to the end refusing to leave his side during his funeral. | BellaDOG Magazine |

| Breaks my heart. What an honor to have such a loyal dog, and an even bigger honor for this young man to be such a hero for us. My prayers go out to the pup and his family.

| I read this yesterday and I cried too. Glad to know the best friend who took care of Hawkeye while Jon was on deployment will be taking care of him now. R.I.P. Jon and thanks for all you have done. |

| That is so sad. Poor doggie. He could probably still pick up his scent and just wanted to be near him. |
