Earlier, on August 26th, I wrote about the devoted dog who refused to leave the casket of his owner, SEAL member Petty Officer Jon Tumilson, one of 22 SEALs shot down in Afghanistan in their Chinook helo on August 6th — a crash that killed thirty-eight soldiers and crew members overall.
Tumilson’s Labrador retriever, Hawkeye (below and above), was being taken care of, temporarily, by a friend.
From the UK Mail Online, it appears the friend, Scott Nichols, has had Tumilson’s dog Hawkeye willed to him.

Touching and that image will be in my mind for a LONG time… Thanks.
What an honor to care for that dog.
True allegiance.
Yes, NFO, I thought it was great news.
Leticia, I would agree; you could only hope for half that dog’s loyalty.
MrC: yes, indeed. Heart-rending.
