Now that a dumbass question and it doesn't even deserve an answer... But if it is willing to laydown its life for me, then I am and always will be indebted to it. Be it man or Dog.
no question the dog had honor...both of you are right in a way because you are each looking at it differently. Is an animal's life more valuable than a human? Does an animal have a soul? But then again, as Tran is saying - the dog served its masters well and paid the ultimate price...that is more honorable than many humans...probably not more than a fallen soldier or officer, but I have no issues with the dog being given some respect. Even if the dog has no soul, it is part of the healing process for the officer who handled him and the rest of the people that knew the dog.
