Marcus Luttrell’s Dog Murdered by Punks in Texas (VIDEO)

Today on Glenn Beck’s show, he had former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell on to talk about what happened to him last week. You see it seems some dumb-ass punks were driving the Texas countryside, summarily executing dogs.

What’s that saying about a “special place….?”

Marcus was at home, it was late at night and he was awake. He heard a gunshot outside, told his mom to stay inside, and when he went outside he saw a group of punks standing around his yellow lab named “Dasy,” lying dead in the ditch. These punks had shot Dasy with a .357 and killed her. Dasy was very special to Marcus, because she served not only as his therapy dog, but her very name was an acronym for the members of his SEAL team who fought and died in Afghanistan – Danny, Axe, Southern Boy (Marcus) and Yankee.

Marcus chased these punks over four counties, and he nearly shot the driver. Finally the Rangers caught up with these punks in Huntsville, TX and the idiots in handcuffs were laughing about it. They said they would also kill Marcus. Do these douchebags not know about Marcus?

Dickhead Alfonso Hernandez was charged with Cruelty to Animals and is facing up to two years in prison, and dickhead #2, Michael Edmonds, is currently on the run.

If you have any information on Edmonds, please contact Sgt. Steven Jeter at the Huntsville, TX Ranger station at 936-435-0152. Please see my blog post for their pictures and if you’re in Texas, keep an eye out for these brutal bastards who executed this hero’s dog.

The following are some very touching photos of Dasy.

My heart goes out to Marcus for this awful loss. I only hope justice is received.

    Mr. Beck, I am an animal lover and a WWII vet's daughter, and am appalled on so many levels after this article. Thank you for realizing its importance and doing something about it. Marcus, I thank you for your service and sacrifice and pray for your continued recovery. Dasy, I love you too for your healing life with Marcus and know you will nudge him towards his new angel when the time and animal is right. Michael Edmunds, do you realize yet that you need help if you think punks shooting ANY animals for fun is cool? Please get help NOW before you become even worse - its your lack of self-esteem and baseline immorality that allow you to do idiotic stunts like you did. Those thugs are not your hommies, they are not your friends and they are not real men who you need to look up to. And finally, 'Bama, why don't you let out the old stoners still in jail from the '70's & '80's so there is room for today's criminals if you won't put up the funds to deal with our systems needs? With all the proof that (serial) killers start out by torturing animals, how can this FACT be either ignored or "rehabilitated" by 2 years in prison? With the public outcry over Marcus' situation and that of "enabeler" Michael Vick, how can you as our President just make sad faces but not DO anything about it? Its your job!!!

    7/1/09 My name is Cole Hasie. I live in Lubbock, TX. I am 3/4 through "Lone Survivor" and decided to look Marcus up on the net. I understand thanks be to God that he lived to tell the tale, which serves as an inspiration on an even wider front than the one he is kicking ass in. Ultimately, I suppose it is the front that his friend's perished in order to uphold. America is the model for freedom and human decency. I would never expect these men to have to have to hold themselves to a higher standard, given what they are trained to do. They do it anyway. I'm late to this particular conversation, but nothing would educate and serve to correct these punks shortsightedness than, assuming they possess the ability to read, to each tackle a book report over "Lone Survivor." FYI, I am no bleeding heart liberal. I am a conservative Republican. I support the use of gunpowder. No questions asked. God Bless Marcus and his friends and everyone serving in the armed forces... and their dogs.
  • Ellen Handa
    I just want to tell Mr. Lutrell how horrified I was by Dasy's story. Tears come to my eyes when I think of it. My love and prayers go out to him, along with gratitude for his service.
    I was just reading an ASPCA brochure about dogs and I thought of Dasy and wondered if he would ever be ready to invite another puppy into his heart. Dasy 2? All America would rejoice.... I lost my precious 4 cats 2 years ago (all died of old age during an awful 10 months)and am just beginning to feel as if I could welcome another cat into my home. Hope you read this, love Ellen
  • Ellen Handa
    Is it possible to send a message of love and thanks to Marcus Luttrell?
    My eyes fill with tears when I think of his precious dog Dasy. I was just reading an ASPCA bulletin about dogs and thought of Marcus. Could he let another puppy inot his heart? Dasy 2? With love prayers and gratitude, Ellen Handa
  • Jean Franks
    This is what really gets to me, these men go and fight for our country to only have our own turn around and disrespect them like this. These punks need to be dealt with and not 2 years in prison. This makes me sick to think there are people in this country with no more respect for Marcus and our other fallen heros. Our military fights for this punks freedom only to be treated like what's the hell wrong with people.
  • These monsters just make me sick. A two year sentence is way too short for what they did. I don't know how many dogs they shot, but they should be put away for a long time. As for Marcus and poor little Dasy, my heart is just broken. What a very sad story. I hope they catch the one on the run and they get a lot more than two years. These are very sick and disturbed young men.
  • Paul
    I feel terrible about this, but the truth of the matter there are assholes like this all over the US. In some ways many people in the US are worse than the Taliban or others who we dare not mention. I truely feel bad that people like this has to act the way they do and take something special away from those who served this country. I to have had similiar incidents and I to have served 23 years for this country only to realize what I know now. I am sorry for your loss.

    I am 14 and I read Mr Lutrell's book. and he is my hero it rips my heart out that this man gave his life and had to go through the loss of his best friends only to come home to America and be treated as badly as he was by the Taliban.
  • Brien
    Good luck Dirt Bags. I certainly hope some Red Blooded American's who unfortunately found themselves behind bars take care of these dirt bags in prision. God bless Marcus, Daisey and her namesakes.
  • Fred
    Someday years from now after all this is behind these guys and everyone forgets about it, I hope Marcus knocks on their doors.
  • cal
    Forget the law how about some justice. May the Jury find them guilty and the punishment be locked in a room with Marcus.
  • waldo
    Those bastards will get their's when the go into the Texas correctional facilities. General population will be the best for them. If BUBBA is nearby they will have to remember not to drop the soap.

    Those worthless maggots should be executed, slowly.
  • Angie
    First of all I am glad you are safe. Being a dog owner and lover I cannot imagine what you were feeling. I hope they get what they deserve and you get another pup to help in the healing process. We are all they have.
  • john
    People like this deserve to be killed. He should have finished his job. Why let them get older and be more of an issue to the rest of us. Societies downfar will come from being weak with men like these.
  • I agree, he should've taken out their kneecaps and worked his way up.
    I know if I had it to do all over again, and known what I know now, I should would have handled things very differently when my "jackass neighbor" blew my baby Rebel away. I should have marched right over with my shotgun and blew him away like he did my defenseless babies...running away from him

    I HATE PUNKS LIKE THAT. I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL...!
  • don
    I hope they get what is coming to them.
  • Ben
    I think it was those D-Bags luckiest day, unfortunately. They should be thanking the heavens above that the police arrived before they could try shooting towards Mr. Lutrell. I'm pretty sure that had they drawn against him the last thing that would've gone through their minds would've been a 9mm round from an M9.
  • Beth
    Does anyone have the addresses and names of the Senators, Congressman, or whatever........that we should be sending our letters to??
  • As someone who also had their dog murdered, my heart goes out to Marcus.
    My boy Rebel was killed by our "neighbor". He shot Rebel and Rex ... two brothers, born the night of my mothers funeral. Rebel died in my arms, Rex costing over $1,200.00 in vet bills, but thankfully survived. This jerk almost shot me and did shoot my house and the sheriff's dept. in our country never even talked to this guy! They refused to enforce the two laws on the books that pertained. Rex had been shot two months before this incident and I KNOW it was the same guy but didn't witness it.
    Law makers and enforcement have got to crack down on people who abuse, torture, and MURDER animals. They will move on to doing the same to people.
    My heart goes out to Mr. Luttrell because he had survived so much and this baby girl meant so much to him. It takes a purely evil person to callously, cold-blooded shoot down an animal. Especially one as tame, sweet and innocent as Dasy. Makes me sick.
    I hope and pray that he gets justice for his girl. I can't believe how calmly and collected he stayed thru the process and didn't blow these guys away. He has my deepest respect for all he's been thru.
  • Rick
    Norma, I don’t know where you live, but it’s against the law to shoot a dog, cat or any other domestic animal (pet). Go to the police station and file a complaint against the person that shot your dog. I hope he gets his because it takes a truly evil person to kill without reason. I love animals and from you e-mail you certainly do as well. But, you must let it go and move on. Take care.

    Mr. Marcus Luttrell, I'm a law enforcement officer that was injuried in the line of duty. I was actually ran over by a suspect I was trying to save from comitting suicide. I was left to die, but survived. The suspect was later captured arrested and eventually had a slick lawyer, who got the suspect out of any jail time. I was left with a crushed leg and endured major surgery and a long period of recoverly. My sister realized that I needed some help with my mental recoverly also and gave me a black lab puppy that she had found, that had been abandoned. I could have not asked for better friend to help me recover. We recovered together. My black lab is now 8 years old and I don't know what I would have done (or do now), if some lowlife murdered my buddy. You showed great restraint in not shooting these idiots, but I can feel you in a simlular way and hope they all get jail time and find out what is like to lose the freedom, you were fighting for as a Navy SEAL. I learned to walk again, but had to take another job as I couldn't do law enforcement anymore, but at least I'm alive to be able to have another job. I hope you can find a way to heal again and maybe through another loved "man's best friend". There's no excuse in the world for what these guys did and I hope they pay a price for it. God Bless and I'll be thinking about you and praying for you.
  • DannyDep
    You did the right thing Marcus.
    Something tells me that Dasy was right by your side as you caught up with the dirt bags that took her away from you.
    Something tells me that she made all the difference in the world in helping you to decide what to do.
    May God bless Dasy and you sir.
    My Dad was a WWII Vet and I know we will never be able to thank you and others like you who have gone through hell for us.
    I just lost one of my yellow labs Winston, who taught me more about life then a lot of people in my life.
    Dasy knows you did the right thing.
    Peace.
  • siol123456
    This kind of story is happening all over the good ole' USA because the GOVERNMENT DOESN'T BELIEVE in TORCHER. Exactly as Glenn said this is where it starts and ends with children. These guys should be held for MURDER period. And on probation for the rest of THEIR LIVES, PERIOD. When one or both kill a human then we will say what............oh woe is us they did it again. Oh my............

    GOD bless Marcus the USA owes YOU.
  • Nanny
    Just heard on Beck that one of the punks is looking for a plea bargain already! What a coward! Or perhaps with all the publicity the ass wipe just found out he messed with the wrong Navy Seal? I hope the DA has a spine and does not plea deal this out and throws the book at both of them. And if these punks killed other pets the sentences should run concurrent so they spend the maximum time getting their holes reamed in prison! The life time probation so they can have their gutless asses thrown back in jail every time they spit on the side walk. I adore Texas for their back bone in dealing with criminals and have faith that they will deal with these dick wads accordingly. If they don't I am sure the supporters of Marcus Luttrell will.
  • milton drissler
    this is just sad.to do this to someones pet,and to have no regard for life.i hope someday people like this will be punished the same as if it were a human they killed.at least a person can protect themself.a dog is defenseless,glad it was not my yorky or my maltese because those scumbags would not have survived to see a trial.
  • Outraged American
    Hang those idiots from the nearest tree.
  • Don Wyatt
    Michael Edmonds will be found. As long as the public applies pressure to have both Michael and Alfonso serve the maximum time in prison, they will be dealt with appropriately in prison. Once their fellow inmates know what they are charged with, they will be treated just like child abusers in prison. Though they may survive the stay, they will be incontinent for the rest of their lives. They will never sneak around in the dark again because you will always be able to smell them. Personally, I am disappointed that Marcus did not shot them. He deserved the satisfaction and he could have protected society from these dirt bags forever.
  • blackops
    Those punks are lucky to be alive.I would have put 2 in them all and said the where trespassing on his land with a loaded gun. Do the not have the castle doc in Texas?
  • J.J.
    Punks like that are nothing but cowards. And the mere fact that they would just drive around and shoot innocent dogs makes them even BIGGER COWARDS. This dog did nothing wrong but, be a sweet puppy and approach these guys to play. I hope that they find the other two and give them the maximum sentence for this awful crime. It's so sad that this Navy Seal lost his buddies in Iraq but, then he comes home and has a beautiful dog that gets murdered in a way that nobody or dog deserves. To the young men that are hiding, you are cowards and I hope they find you.
  • Jody
    We need every Texan to call their congressman and senator to be sure these guys are punished to the full extent of the law! I assume the dog was paid for by tax dollars so is also Federal property, maybe this could step up the charges and make sure they pay a little longer than the average dog killer. Please help this young man get some closure to this horrible tragedy.... hes suffered enough. Please Please get involved and contact government at all levels to be sure this does not just get swept under the rug!
  • reconeil
    Those: "Punks" are ALL (entire car load) lucky to STILL be alive, and only possible
    receiving & serving short jail terms.

    It must be believed that: "SEAL Marcus" displayed A Restraint; "Above & Beyond",
    and warrants at least some-sort-of Recognition, Ghandi or Humanitarian Award.

    I own a Yellow Lab named "Gunner", He's a sweet natured, big baby. Marcus could've killed them and the world would've been a better place without them. I think a lynch mob is in order.
  • Anonymous
    Man, that is the definition of sick and wrong! Those punks need to be punished.
  • Barefootn
    I heard this on the scanner in Polk County, TX. These guys went further than your report stated driving at speeds well over 100 mph. Through winding, dark country roads and over a very long causeway. These bastards not only killed this hero's friend they also endangered everyone in the path for many, many miles. As well as law enforcement officers from Walker, San Jancinto and Polk Counties.
    To the soldier you have my deepest respect and heart felf sympathy.
  • rick
    looks just like my dog except he"s a male and i can imagine how you feel my guy is like my son and my best friend... i'm speechless
  • rcd33b
    I pray that these scum be punished to the full extent of the law. It would actually be interesting if their sentence included some time with Marcus and the Navy Seals.
  • wendy
    This just broke my heart. I feel so bad for Marcus. The pain and anger in his eyes said everything. These dumb asses must pay.
  • Dale Moore
    What a group of sick individuals, who enjoy killing an animal. I hope they are convicted in court and sentenced to jail for their actions.
  • patriotchick_usa
    These punks are scum. I'd like the opportunity to spit in their faces!
  • Everyone: check out www.dasyfund.com. We're taking up a collection for Marcus, to show him that there's still good people out there, and help him get through this loss. Please be generous, and spread the word to all you know.

    MsU, welcome to the RMMB.
  • Thank you, darlin! I was SOO glad I found your forum.

    Check above for the update and some "lovely" photos of Mr. Edmonds from his MySpace page. LOL

  • Tim
    Don't care much for some dogs, can live with others but to just come by and kill a person's dog for the "thrill"? No way two years of what one hopes is hard time may be a bit short on what's deserved

    Marcus,

    I'm going to do everything I can to get the message across to your state government. And I won't stop until justice is served. I have two yellow labs myself since they were puppies. I know what would gone through my mind at the time the suspects mouthed off to me. They will get their punishment. Ionly wish it was the kind you or I could give to them. I honor your Dasy and your service to our country.

    It is said that you can tell a lot about a nation by the way it treats its animals. God forgive us for spawning these demons in human-looking bodies. Don't put them in prison - execute them. Save another animal's life...these creeps are not even fit to be called animals. BANG BANG BANG
  • Blackwater
    I see a serious ass beating in their future.
  • Codeslinger
    Buy Marcus' upcoming release "Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 - Marcus Luttrell" to show your support of this American hero. Like all teens, I did some pretty stupid things, but nothing this horrific. These "teens" need to man-up and give Marcus a little face time, take some responsibility for their thoughtless actions. Things like this just gives me more and more reason to further doubt the human race as a compassionate species. God bless you and your family, Marcus.
  • It takes a special kind of worthless PoS to shoot a dog, but I'm glad Marcus did the "right" thing instead of the satisfying thing.
  • Mike
    I just finished reading Lone Survivor this week. I am also a veteran of the War on Terrorism (OIF 2). Hearing about this sickens me. These little maggots aren't fit to be treated like humans. They don't have the guts to go where Marcus Luttrell went and wouldn't last in training much less combat. It speaks well of his fiber that he didn't make their heads into ash trays. For that I commend Mr. Luttrell and my admiration for him grows. My heart goes out to him as well. One of my fondest memories was seeing my dog when I returned home from my tour. It saddens me to learn of this horror. I only hope they are repaid in kind for their cowardice. Marcus showed mercy on them, he is a true warrior and hero. God bless him and his family as he recovers.
  • R.C. Wysong
    Marcus showed more restraint than I would have. They would be looking for the bodies of these pieces of garbage.
  • SgtJenz
    There is no punishment these lunatics could receive that would fit the utter senseless evil of their crime.
    Better to put two in the brain pan of each of these dirtbags and bury them deep to make sure they don't pass on their polluted genes to any children they might father.

    Edmonds should pray the Texas Rangers finds his sorry punk ass before Luttrell or somebody else does. Don't mess with Texans, especially heroes like Marcus.
