To Marcus and Dasy

Our hearts are broken for decorated Navy Seal, fellow Texan and American Hero Marcus Luttrell. On April 1st, some fiends went on a dog-killing spree and killed his beloved therapy dog Dasy with a 9 mm. Marcus had been given Dasy as a a gift to help him recover from his injuries as well as the traumatic experiences he endured during his mission in Afghanistan. (For details, read his book: Lone Survivor - linked at right). He even named Dasy after his three fallen comrades. Marcus expressed that his bond with the 4 year old yellow labrador was so strong that he felt she was his daughter. As someone who loves their dogs like children, I cannot begin to imagine how he feels. I encourage everyone to say a little prayer for Marcus and for Dasy. I will also say a prayer that those dog killers die in jail.
