Saying Goodbye
When 76-year old William D. Schiller was laid to rest, his family allowed his dog a chance to say goodbye to his best friend. Chief jumped up to look in the casket, licked his master’s ear, and laid his head down next to Schiller’s to say goodbye.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Don’t you just love this picture? They aren’t lying when they call dogs Man’s Best Friend. This showed up recently on Facebook – made me cry. Here’s the original caption, but I don’t know who took the pic.
During Navy Seal Jon Tumilson’s funeral yesterday, his trusted canine friend Hawkeye guarded him one last time.
Tumilson was one of the SEALs killed in the helicopter crash August 6th in Afghanistan.
To all of you who are serving: Thanks, stay safe, and come home soon! We love each and every one of you.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Lucky’s Funeral
The death of my brother’s dog, Lucky, introduced us to a new family tradition. This is the same brother (and sister-in-law) who live with Chance and think that the dogs are actually children. In case you couldn’t guess, they have no 2-legged children.
