Oh this made me cry a little...
Anyone would have to be crazy not to believe that animals have souls and feelings and emotions...

Tragic bomb dog Theo in line for an 'animal VC' as he and his master's body are flown home together

In life, they were inseparable. And in death, this brave man and his best friend are staying by each other’s side.

A record-breaking Army sniffer dog and his devoted handler will make their final journey home together next week.

Theo, a springer spaniel cross, suffered a fatal seizure shortly after his master, Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, was shot dead by the Taliban on Tuesday.

What a heartwarming piece of film, a real lovely demonstration of the affection and love between canines and humans.

A sad story afterwards, I wonder what caused the dog to have a seizure?

Wfgodot, you brought tears to my eyes with both stories, thanks for posting them
