I took from another forum.

If this story does not rip your insides - ..... Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell - author of Sole survivor, a great book..... Someone killed his dog.

CALLER: Hey, Glenn, thanks for taking my call. I just wanted to know, Friday you asked us to pray for Marcus and I was just seeing if you had an update today on what's going on with him.

GLENN: Yes, I do. Yes, I do. Marcus Luttrell is the lone survivor. He was part of the SEAL team. It was the biggest battle any SEAL in SEAL history. He was the only survivor. He lost his whole team. He was then taken by Al Qaeda and the Taliban and he was tortured beyond your wildest imagination and there they held him for a while. He's been sick. He still hasn't recovered from all of the things that they did to him and so he just has he's always in for his back and surgery and everything else.

On Thursday I believe it was, Wednesday or Thursday about 1:00 a.m., Marcus is a guy who doesn't sleep anymore at night. He sleeps during the daytime. And about 1:00 he happened to be awake and he heard a gunshot. He lives on a ranch with his mother in Texas. He grabs his gun and he goes outside. There he sees, I believe it was four. It may be three but I believe it was four young men 18 to 24 years old, all of them, where they had just shot his dog. Marcus' dog is named Dasy. Each letter represents D A S Y represents one of the fallen members of his team. It was given to him in recovery to help him through the recovery process. This dog means everything to Marcus. Marcus had his gun and he took it out and he put it right between the eyes of one of the guys. He was standing away from them, pointed right between the eyes. Now, here's a SEAL team member who is wildly, he's just, he is having trouble, man. He is still recovering from his injuries. He had just gotten out of surgery. He's standing there with a gun between the guy's eyes. He doesn't fire. All four and he's just saying, "You killed my dog." They executed his dog. "You killed my dog. Why would you do that?" They run. They get into his car. Marcus gets into his truck, chases them over four counties, finally runs them into a ditch. He calls the Rangers.

The Texas Rangers arrive and these guys, when the Texas Rangers are taking these guys away, Marcus has held them there by a gun. As the Rangers are taking these guys away, they're threatening Marcus' life and saying, "When we get out, we're coming for you next. First it was your dog. It's going to be you next. You don't know who you're messin' with." That's when Marcus kind of snapped just a little bit and said to the Ranger, "Excuse me, ranger, do you know who I am?" He said, "Yes, sir, Mr. Luttrell, I do." He said, "You might want to explain to these punks because I could have killed them 600 different ways and if I wanted to kill you guys after what you would have done what you just did to my dog, I would have pulled you down into my basement and I would have tortured you for days and you wouldn't have died until you begged me for death. So before you start saying you're going to come after me, you better learn who you've just whose dog you just killed."

They get into jail. These four punks have been killing dogs in Marcus' county now for a month, for joys, joy rides and kicks. Tonight Marcus is going to be on television and he's going to tell the story, and I'm showing the pictures of these dirtbags. And I want you to call PETA, I want you to call every activist you know. I want you to hear the story of a hero whose dog was executed. In all of the times that everybody is saying, oh, guns gotta be taken off the streets, you gun nuts. Here's a responsible gun owner that with everything he's gone through, everything that that dog means, these dirtbags come and kill his dog. He could have killed them all. He probably would have enjoyed it, justifiably so and he didn't because he's an American hero.

Keep him in your prayers.

My prayers are with Marcus.

I listened today to the GB show where he was interviewing Marcus. He showed incredible restraint and I commend him for that. He could have ended all of their lives then and there if he had chosen too.

It seemed like Marcus was awfully close to saying some things on GB that could get him in trouble, so I almost want GB to stop interviewing him.

Pissed off Navy Seals are the last group of guys I would want mad at me! Will anyone else be surprised if these guys start disappearing?"

I certainly wouldn't shed a tear for any of them if they did.

He is more of a man than I in many ways but I don't think my cool side would have held me back like his did. Poor guy and dog!

Lol, from what I hear in the interview, the only reason he didn't shoot these guys is cause he didn't have a clear shot. lucky them.

It's the dog's fault, and the hero's fault. That dog shouldn't have been outside at 1:00am in the first place. He was just asking to get shot by the town's random wanna be gang of dog murderers.

Marc is a hell of a guy. Not only one lucky SOB for what he survived, but one dedicated patriot! I give my thoughts and love to his family for what he has been through. I hope these SOB's get what they deserve. Great job AGAIN man. Proof that Americas finest are just as professional at home as they are at war!

He is a much better man than myself, they all would have been shot dead no questions asked if it had been my dog they shot.

God bless him for his service to this country.

I was listening to the 911 tapes, he is driving at 110 mph chasing them, and he sounds as calm as if he was on a sunday drive through the country going 20mph.

I really hope that guy was joking about the "dog shouldn't have been outside..he was just asking for it comment". I suppose we should all run and hide less we become victims because we are out when the criminals are. I suppose if the poster was outside and got shot it would be his fault. Enjoy your bunker pal!!

I'll give Him kudo's for restraint also... 'Cause I'm pretty sure if I caught someone willfully mistreating Dozer,,, I am sure they'd prefer the treatment that they would receive at gitmo compared to what I would do to them.... I have always been interested in history and the Spainish inqusition has been of particular interest,, shall We say...

I've always been an avid dog lover, and cats too (mainly due to the high torment / enjoyment factor), yet I have to take my hat off to this gentleman for showing amazing restraint. No question that I wouldn't have been able to do the same. . . on my property w/ a gun, just killed my dog, which is like my child. . . someone would've been digging 4 more graves for those bastards!

Would he have been legally justified in killing them?

"ah yes officer: after hearing a shot and seeing my dog was dead, the 4 men approached me threatening my life saying they will shoot me dead on the spot. at this point I used my training and gutted them with my fingernail letting them die a slow and painful death but it was in self defense. i was in fear for my life."


He would have had the Navy seal thing actually go against him, but any random guy could have easily blown them all away, said he feared for his life and the guys were going to kill him as well and more than likely would have been fine.
