Police officers and their police dogs often share a special bond. The human-canine duo in this video is no exception.

They are more than colleagues in the police force; they are best friends who consider each other an indispensable part of their lives.

And so they are, as one day becomes painfully clear.

One Mourns More

The police officer is terminally ill with cancer. He bravely fights against the disease, but against some opponents, there is no victory.

The man passes away. Not only are his colleagues and family shaken, but also his best friend with the wet nose. He mourns more than anyone else.

Farewell After 16 Years Together

For 16 long years, the two have been working together in the fight against crime.

For 16 long years, they practically spent every day together, and now the man has left the dog behind.

The dog cannot understand it, and he doesn’t want to. His human was as important to him as the air he breathes.

He was like a second heart for this loyal furball, and now the little dog’s heart is supposed to beat alone? It can’t.

Forever Together

After the dog sees his deceased human, only a few hours pass.

Nobody can say what went through his mind during this sad time.

We will never know more than this one thing: the pain of loss was too great for the little dog.

Now, all he can do is what he has done his whole life: faithfully follow his human, wherever he may have gone.

Now, they sleep side by side in the cemetery and will never be separated again.

Watch these two loyal friends in this touching video!
