Jeffrey Standfest and Ruppert

This is a watercolor painting on canvas of a young hero named Jeff Standfest .  He  and his dog died in Afghanistan in 2010. The dog, Ruppert P 390  died a month before Jeff. Ruppert saved Jeff's life at that time.  Jeff was working with another dog when he was also killed by and IED.  RIP Jeff.

Ruppert P 390, Cpl Jeffrey Standfest

This Is Ruppert P 390. He is a Marine War Dog who was killed by an IED. 23 days before his partner Cpl Jeffrey Standfest. I am sorry I did not have this picture earlier as I would have added it to the Art Prize 2011 entry. I still will probable take it with me for viewing during regular hours. He was killed in Afghanistan and his partner was hurt. Jeffrey lived the next 23 days with out his partner and then was also killed also. Rest now in peace, Dawg.
