ROCKFORD, Iowa (Indiana’s NewsCenter) As Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson lay in a coffin, draped by an American flag, in front of a tearful audience mourning his death in Afghanistan. An old friend appeared, his loyal dog, who still refuses to leave his side.
Tumilson’s Labrador retriever, Hawkeye, was photographed lying by Tumilson’s casket at the funeral service in Tumilson’s hometown of Rockford, Iowa, earlier this week. Hawkeye walked up to the casket at the beginning of the service and then dropped down with a heaving sigh as about 1,500 mourners witnessed a dog accompanying his master until the end, reported CBS.
The photo was snapped by Tumilson’s cousin, Lisa Pembleton, and later posted on her Facebook page in memory of the San Diego resident. Tumilson, 35, was one of 30 American troops, including 22 Navy SEALs, who were killed when a Taliban insurgent shot down a Chinook helicopter with a rocket-propelled grenade on August 6th.
“I felt compelled to take one photo to share with family members that couldn't make it or couldn't see what I could from the aisle,” Pembleton wrote on her Facebook page. “To say that he was an amazing man doesn't do him justice. The loss of Jon to his family, military family and friends is immeasurable.’’
