Jon Tumilson, a Navy SEAL, was one of 30 Americans killed in Afghanistan on
Aug. 6 when a rocket-propelled grenade took out a U.S. Chinook helicopter.
He was mourned at a service in Rockford, Iowa, attended by 1,500 family
members, friends--and Hawkeye, Tumilson's dog.
The Labrador retriever was such an important part of Tumilson's life that
the friends and family of the San Diego resident called the dog his "son."
When Tumilson's friend Scott Nichols walked to the front of the room to
speak, Hawkeye followed, Today.com reports. "As Nichols prepared to
memorialize his friend, Hawkeye dutifully laid down near the casket," Scott
Stump writes.
A video clip of the mourning dog can be seen here. KIMT-TV of Mason City,
Iowa, covered the funeral.
The photo on the right was taken by Tumilson's cousin, Lisa Pembleton, and
posted on Facebook. 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."
