Family says goodbye to Marine war dog

[@pebblesthecat3625]

This is the first time I've ever burst into tears at a you tube video. Heartbreaking to watch but wonderful to see. R.I.P. Marine.

Well I'm not really the kind of guy who gets all emotional but I have to say, this really touched me, what a beautiful way to say good bye.

[@mariagorse3685]

all dogs are special but these dogs are amazing.

[@305carolann]

Why? Because they are so loyal they can be served up to be blown to pieces first? Google how many military dogs have been left behind. They are chattel to the US Military. Expendable.

This breaks my heart, I have such a soft spot for veterans, no matter the species.

[@googlreviews7813]

I generally feel more for the dog and here is why... These dogs don't volunteer to join the military, they are forced to do it, and they may even enjoy it but they are forced, people choose to join.

[@isitoveryet9525]

@@googlreviews7813i definitely get what you’re saying, but a lot of these dogs were specifically bred to perform these jobs. It’s in their genetics, & it’s been there since the beginning of their lineage. These are guardian working dogs, & they’re happiest when they’re doing what they’re made to do.

Do not know how I found this video. I was the Marine XO for the infantry company during a combat deployment in Afghanistan. Rico’s presence gave you a since of humanity during a time of war. He made you feel safe and of course his handler was an outstanding Marine. I will always remember those two. Semper Fi.

There is no honor in sending a dog ahead of you to be blown to pieces. To the US military they are chattel and expendable. Humans do not deserve dogs in general but the military and law enforcement should be ashamed of themselves for using dogs to do the job they signed up for
