Cold War Kids- Hang Me Out to Dry
Dog dies of a broken heart, awwww, noooooo.
From DailyMail:
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.
Browsing cover artists on youtube can be a fruitful hobby. Every now and then you come across those gems that make you fall (back) in love with an old song and a new artist at the same time. Discovered Eva Cassidy recently. Read all about her, and it’s damn tragic that she died so young recently with cancer. Loving most of her stuff, really liking Yesterday by The Beatles. This girl was blessed with perpetually honeyed vocal chords. So so tragic.
