Marcus Luttrell and his dog, Dasy, who was murdered in cold blood with a .357 allegedly by Alfonso Hernandez and Michael Edmonds
Marcus Luttrell is an American Hero. He survived the deadliest Navy Seal attack in US history. He had commanded four other soldiers when they were ambushed by 150 Taliban fighters. He was the lone survivor. The mission to rescue him resulted in a helicopter being shot down with 16 casualties.
After surviving with horrific injuries in the mountains and eventually being rescued, he had to deal with the recovery process which not only included his physical well-being but the emotional toll of the deaths of his fallen comrades.
During his recovery, he was a given a puppy, a yellow Lab which he aptly named Dasy. The name Dasy is significant because it stands for his four buddies who were killed. Their names were Danny, Axe, Southern Boy and Yankee Boy.
Dasy was not just a dog to Marcus. Dasy was a reminder of his fallen comrades and an important aspect to his healing process.
Last week, Marcus was inside his home when he heard a gunshot. He ran outside to see his beloved Dasy who had been killed by four pieces of human garbage. He had the chance to shoot them but did not. They fled in their car and he chased them through four counties. He cornered them and once again, had a chance to shoot them while they cowered behind their car. Marcus chose to call 911 and the Texas Rangers came out and arrested these pieces of garbage.
Two will now be used as witnesses while Hernandez and Edmonds are being charged with animal cruelty. There have been several incidences of other dogs being killed in a similar manner recently in the same area. The investigation continues to see if these four killed the other dogs.
Marcus is a hero and has endured alot. He lost his beloved Dasy through a brutal act committed by scum. He feels as if he lost his buddies all over again.
I sincerely feel the tremendous loss not only for Marcus but for the other families who had to endure similar fates with their beloved pets as well.
Marcus endured a war against the Taliban ; however there seems to be a hidden war in the US against defenseless animals. Who and what type of person can play God and come to your yard and shoot your beloved dog? Who the hell do they think they are?
Marcus was able to show restraint and not kill these four males considering he was trained to kill. I sincerely don’t know if I would be capable of having Marcus’s undeniable strength while staring down the very people who just murdered my beloved dog. Could you show that much restraint?
Marcus is truly a hero.
