A soldier and his dog buried together

This heartbreaking story has circulated on Facebook as news that the remains of a British soldier killed in action in Afghanistan and the bomb-sniffing dog who worked with him were flown home to England.

From Fox News:

Lance Cpl. Liam Tasker, a dog handler with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, was killed in a firefight with insurgents in Helmand Province on March 1 as he searched for explosives with Theo, a bomb-sniffing springer spaniel mix. The dog suffered a fatal seizure hours later at a British army base, likely brought about by stress.
It is truly the story of a hero and his dog....
