We are truly committed to our dogs. They are very emotionally intelligent. Once their owners die, they are able to recognize them and even mourn them. When the dog’s owner died, the same thing happened, and the dog bid him a heartfelt farewell at the funeral.
His name was James William “Will” Warner. He was 22 years old and from Shelbyville, Tennessee. His attacker reportedly left him in the street to die after shooting him.
His girlfriend took a bullet, but lived to tell the tale. Their family is devastated by Will’s death. Just as the whole world collapsed around her, his mother retreated.
His mother described him as a delightful little boy who was “larger than life.” The suspect in the murder has been named by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department as 25-year-old Samuel Earl Rich.
They had to bury Will’s body immediately, unfortunately, due to the condition it was found in. Even choosing a casket, according to his mother, was denied to her. They couldn’t say goodbye to Will properly.
He was buried in Mount Lebanon Cemetery. To bid his final farewell, to mourn and remember him, his friends and relatives came to bury him.
When Will’s dog, Ace, sat on the freshly excavated burial plot to be closer to his deceased owner, it was the most devastating sight.
Will wrote in his obituary that Ace was a “loving friend and loyal companion.” The dog was truly attached to his lost best friend and thus it was clear that he would never forget him.
Peace be upon you, Will. Many people loved and miss you. You can pretty much count on your dog missing you.
