Amid the flags and flowers left outside of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s family home in Hamilton, Ontario, two dogs peeked out from under the gate on Thursday. Cirillo, the army reservist who was shot dead as he stood guard at Canada’s National War Memorial, was not only a soldier and a father, but an animal lover whose social media feeds were populated by images of his dogs. In a recent Instagram he described them as “my family,” and would often post photos of their antics.
This image got me very emotional..We can debate until we are blue in the face why evil happens, what inspires it, and why it strikes. We can argue about false flags and true events.. we can debate until we pass out from exhaustion.
In the end, innocence always suffers.. whether its children who just want to learn and laugh, or dogs who just want their master to return back home again..
