Marcus Luttrell is a former US Navy SEAL, an American hero and the only survivor of the deadliest battle the SEALs have ever faced. His was also the owner of a well loved yellow lab named Daisy until some punks were out joyriding and getting their thrills by killing.
We know that no dog is ever “just a dog” but even as dogs go, Daisy was special. She was a therapy dog that was a gift to Luttrell as he lay in his hospital bed recovered from horrific wound sustained in battle in Afghanistan. Her name was a acronym that stood for the names of four of the men in his unit.
On the night in question Marcus Luttrell heard gunshots and after checking on his mother, grabbed his gun and took off out of his Texas home. He tracked the commotion to a roadside ditch where he saw what was going on; four young punks laughing over the brutally shot and killed body of his dog, Daisy. The punks had taken Daisy, who was a friendly dog, from her home, dragged her to the road and shot her with a .357.
You can imagine the pain, grief and anger he must have felt watching these punks laughing over Daisy’s body; Daisy, his best friend, the dog he thought of as his “daughter,” his connection to his fallen comrades and friends.
The punks, two identified as Michael Edmonds, who is on the run and Alfonso Hernandez, who has been arrested and charged, started running then. Luttrell got in his truck and chased them across four counties, keeping in touch with authorities who whole time. There was numerous times that Luttrell could have shot them and didn’t, although you will see in the interview below, he wanted to.
In Huntsville, TX, a roadblock was set and the four punks were apprehended, stil laughing and they actually threatened Luttrell’s life.
Unfortunately only 2 of the 4 were charged, the remaining tow were seen as “bystanders” even though they stood by laughing.
Alfonso Hernandez was charged with animal cruelty and if convicted faces up to two years in prison but Michael Edmonds is on the run and authorities want him caught.
If you have any information about his whereabouts, please call the Texas Rangers in Huntsville, Texas at: (936) 435-0152 and ask for Sgt. Steven Jeter.
If you been around this website for any length of time, you know that I have great respect for our soldiers and troops and support them. Sure, there are some bad apples but I believe most of them put their heart in the defense of our country. Most are quiet heroes with untold stories of horrors and hardship but the ones that do stand out, Like Marcus Luttrell represent them all and when something like this happens it is a blow to them all.
My heart goes out to Marcus and my sincerest condolences on the loss of Daisy. No one should ever have to go through something like this.
As for the punks who did this, I wish he had gotten a few shots off. Maybe that’s cruel or heartless but it’s no less so than what they did. What the hell was going on in their minds, their obviously tiny, twisted little minds, to do something like this? These little bastards need to pay!
Watch the video below; Marcus is interviewed on the Glenn Beck program and tells in his own words what happened that night, then sign the petition.
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
He should of gotten a few rounds off on them. The next time this happens, someone WILL.
Get these creeps and lock them up for a long time, they don’t belong in society, what they did makes me sick, if I was to get my hands on them they would stop their laughing guarantee it.
My heart goes out to Marcus. Here he is, a vet who has fought for our country, and our rights as Americans, and these young punks go out and do something like this? How dare they – I hope they are found, and receive the harshest punishment. I do not want these two walking the streets!
Yes, it is too bad Marcus did not get a couple shots off. Right where they would sit.
I WISH TOO THAT HE COULD HAVE GOT OFF A COUPLE OF ROUNDS. THEY SHOULD ALSO BE CHARGED WITH TERRORIST THREATS OF NOT JUST A PERSON BUT A VET. COME ON PEOPLE LETS GET THE WORD OUT ON THIS ONE SO WE CAN GET ALL 4 CHARGED.
Update: Michael Edmonds turned himself in. I suppose seeing his face all over the internet did it. Or, just maybe, other Retired Navy Seals are *looking for him*.

All four, not just two, of the cowardess men need to be prosecuted for the murder of Marcus’ daughter, his dog Daisy.
Marcus is a real man of courage, he showed remarkable restraint in not firing back at the cowards. The men are so stupid to be messing with a trained SEAL.
Marcus you are a true hero for serving bravely to protect America and I am sincerely saddened for your senseless loss. I do hope Marcus can receive another therapy dog.
I am sure that when Marcus is ready, there are so many rescues in Texas that are overloaded with dogs of all ages, and would welcome him with open arms to help find the right dog for him, although no pup will replace his precious Dasy. But she will forever be in his heart and be waiting for him at Rainbow Bridge.
I would of BLASTED their GUTS all over the pavement
I see this guy, he IS getting shot. And I like that the other two guys didn’t get charged. That’s BULL! If they were present at the MURDER of a human, they would be charged as accesories to the crime. But cause it’s a dog, it doesn’t count. MURDER is still MURDER!
Ah… see, he said the same thing in the video that I said…

I can’t really say what I think of them
1. Lets deport hernandez, he doesnt deserve citizenship.
2. Lets deport edmonds while were at it, we can make it a package deal.
We need some marshall law, these f***ers dont stand a chance, look how skinny they are, and they are taking on a navy seal????? I always knew people were dumb, but these guys totally missed the evolution bus. So really, if we killed them it would be doing a favor to humanity. This country needs harsher laws……. 2 years? how about 2 years, a leg and an eye. I think that seems about right.
Just because Marcus didn’t kill them doesn’t mean someone else won’t they have been exposed nationally, lol good luck now b***es!!
I am so sorry for your loss Marcus. Poor Daisy and such a fabulous pup. Damn them to hell. I so wish Marcus had fired a few rounds at them and the bullets had connected. Of course, then Marcus….get this….talk about screwy….get this….Marcus would have been arrested AND conficted of murder and sent to death row. HEY…does anyone see what I see here? Murder is murder, no matter who it is or how it is done….it’s still murder!
My deepest sympathy to you and I would like to say that I would rather see the DEATH PENALTY for these scumbags pukes of humans~they are wasting oxygen in this world and GOD knows that this is the beginning of what is to come from these monsters, I guarantee you they will kill more animals and HUMAN BEINGS in their lifetime, so I say knock them out now!!! LOW LIFE PIECES OF CRAP!
Do we have an update on this S~C~U~M~B ?
I apologise for yelling, please excuse me.
