In death, they were united in tragedy. Shortly after Lance Corporal Liam Tasker was killed in a firefight with the Taliban, his devoted Army search dog Theo suffered a seizure and passed away too. On Tuesday they took part in a mission in the Nahr-e Saraj district in Helmand, a hotbed of the insurgency. Theo’s task was to be the ‘front man’, sniffing out any hidden IEDs, weapons and bomb-making equipment. But a firefight broke out with the Taliban and L/Cpl Tasker was shot dead. After his body was flown back to Camp Bastion, his beloved Theo is thought to have died of a broken heart.[/quote] [url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1362275/Bomb-sniffing-Army-dog-dies-broken-heart-Taliban-kill-master.html[/url] :frown:
Great. Now I'm depressed for the rest of the week.
This is not news. EDIT: Okay let me explain this to you. This dog did not die of a broken heart.
:smith:
This is so sad, reminds me of the dog scene in I Am Legend, i cried so hard at that.

I guess the good ol' saying, "a dog is a mans best friend" is true in some cases, like this one. This is really sad. It brings me back to when I had to put my dog down about a year ago; he had a seizure, and after that we knew it was time to put him to sleep.
I saw it as "Bomb-sniffing Army dog dies of..." in the header thing
[QUOTE=redBadger;28410872]I had to put my dog down about a year ago[/QUOTE] I may have to do that with my Newfoundland soon. Arthritis.
Man that's really heartbreaking... I just noticed why I'm getting zing ratings. But I'm serious, that really is sad.
It died from the diesel exhaust fumes from the Abrams
That's so sad...

Those who rate this story dumb are a Squidward: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYN6lP2HBpY[/media]
reading this makes me want to cry :frown:
War is hell
Sensationalist bs, the dog just died coincidentally
I really think people under-estimate humanity's connection with animals. Dogs and cats (especially my cat Fuzzy) hold testament to that. I hope they're happy where ever it is we all go.
Wow, I'm fucking depressed now :sigh: also Tasker looks like Hezzy
[QUOTE=Dr. Fishtastic;28411095]also Tasker looks like Hezzy[/QUOTE] Huh. I just noticed that.
There's a species of monkeys that if left alone to themselves for a long time simply die of loneliness, due to how strongly they bond with their owners, I'm not saying this dog died of a broken heart, but it could have been very shocked by the death of his close friend and master.
I like those rating dumbs. I'm sorry you've never had an animal devoted to you before. I know the feeling now when I returned home from Christmas break from College and my cat trouble was all over.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;28410845]This is not news. EDIT: Okay let me explain this to you. This dog did not die of a broken heart.[/QUOTE] But it's sad so people will rate you dumb and then make a generic Bawww comments like every time shit like this happens to animals.
They always say that a dog is a man's best friend. I guess it really is true :frown:
[QUOTE=Swilly;28411207]I like those rating dumbs. I'm sorry you've never had an animal devoted to you before. I know the feeling now when I returned home from Christmas break from College and my cat trouble was all over.[/QUOTE] I would assume that people rated this article Dumb because the dog did not "die of a broken heart." It's mushy sensationalism.
A fucking animal died, guys, get over it. It's not news. [i]but leaf runner, its so cute, ur hartless!!11[/i] It's one animal. Get real.
how to: make a hard hitting article Step 1: Find an animal that dies coincidentally after the death of its owner Step 2: Adhere to the idiots who think animals are people and say it died of a "broken heart" Step 3: Sit back and watch people get all worked up over how sad it is a dog died. (Also note: the human's death will not be mentioned because dogs > humans)
What a bitch, my dog has seizures all the time. Does that mean my dog might die too :(?
[QUOTE=Sanius;28411246]I would assume that people rated this article Dumb because the dog did not "die of a broken heart." It's mushy sensationalism.[/QUOTE] You:"They must have hit the aorta." me: "Oh, do you think it was the Thoracic or Abdominal aorta?" If you get the joke, I give you props.
[QUOTE=Leaf Runner;28411271]A fucking animal died, guys, get over it. It's not news. [i]but leaf runner, its so cute, ur hartless!!11[/i] It's one animal. Get real.[/QUOTE] I'll ensure to repeat those exact words with the word "animal" replaced by "human" on your funeral day, and see how others will react.
