A bugler sounded the lonely notes to “Taps.” As friends and fellow patriots saluted, Jeff DeYoung carried his best friend Cena, a hardened Marine combat veteran like his owner, past the crowd of well-wishers as they boarded a decommissioned Navy ship in Muskegon, Mich. It was there on Wednesday where the black lab, lame with bone cancer, was euthanized. He was 10....

This sums it up well. There are some who would think this sort of thing is a little much for a dog.

When a dog dies does he go to heaven? If not where do they go and can I go there? Great but sad story. Officers lives matter! | |||

Many don't grasp the bond. For those of us who do, may God bless Cena for being what he was. I also found this video showing the outpouring of the local community which I thought was great. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.
