This story literally brought me to tears today at work. You can read the entire story here:

The dog above was owned by one of the Navy Seals that was killed Aug 6th in Afghanistan, which is in the casket that he is laying by. They say in the story that the dog walked down the aisle at the beginning of the funeral, got to the casket, sighed really deeply and laid down...being the faithful doggy that he was til the very end. I can barely type right now because I am crying! lol

This story is such a true reflection of a loyal dog. It reminds me of my Zoey. Her is an ever faithful doggy. Loving even when in pain. Still wagging her tail even when tired. She will wake up just to come lick your face and let you know she loves you. She has overcome obstacles in her life that most dogs would just give out on. I know that she won't give up because she loves me and knows that I need her as long as possible. She has taken such wonderful care of me through many trials I have faced in my life, knowing always when to let me know that she is still there to love me. I can only hope that I have loved her just as faithfully as she has loved me.

I am gonna give her a big long hug, kiss, and take her on a "blind doggy's walk" when I get off work today (which means wander in a circle for 15 minutes...lol).
