Hours after soldier killed in action, his faithful dog suffers seizure

RIP Brother and RIP Theo the bomb dog. Your work is done.

Going by memory here but I'm sure I saw the pet cemetery for military dogs in, or around Edinburgh Castle.

How moving...

May they both rest in peace

The pet cemetary at the Presdio in San Francisco was going to be plowed up by the anti-military San Francisco liberals when they took over the base in 1994 and it was the old duffers and (God love 'em) the liberal animal lovers who saved it. There's an awful lot of German Shepherd service dogs in there who spent their lives on guard duty and it's hard not to think of them as Brothers.

RIP to the Brothers.

I have seen it too at the castle. This story really moved me.

RIP faithful brothers

our dogs sense our moods, our sicknesses and our passing. The bond between a dog and its human companion is incredibly deep, and quite often they are better friends than other humans. A religious friend of mine, once told me that dogs are reminders and examples of what unconditional love is.

RIP

Having a bomb dog with us overseas was the best moral support we could ask for. We had the same three teams for the whole tour. Loved those dogs.

We had two of them the last job I did on Kinmen. On one beach they found an additional twelve mines that our teams equipment had missed.

RiP brother.
