Dog dies of broken heart after his master gets killed in Afghanistan

What a heartbreaking story. I'm going to hug my dog now.

CJ has calmed down a lot since I got her when she was 2 months old. I've noticed that she hangs around me more often now. *tears*

From Daily Mail:

A hero soldier who was shot dead whilst serving in Afghanistan was soon joined by his loyal search dog, who died of a seizure just hours later, an inquest heard.

Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, 26, was shot by insurgents in the Nahr-el-Sarraj district of Helmand Province while navigating a team of soldiers through an area thought to be littered with bombs.

An inquest heard the brave serviceman died instantly after being struck in the face by a bullet, believed to be from a machine gun, with beloved springer spaniel Theo by his side.

The inseparable pair, who had routed out an Army record 14 caches of bombs and weapons together - saving countless lives - were described as 'made for each other.'

But just hours after his seeing his beloved master shot dead, 22-month-old Theo began to fit and died.
