The Ohio county sheriff and his tiny police dog were inseparable, their lives unwaveringly intertwined.

It thus seems fitting that retired Geauga County sheriff Dan McClelland, 67, and his crime-fighting partner Midge, 16, would both die on the same day, Wednesday, April 14—McClelland, at a hospital after a lengthy battle with cancer, and Midge, a few hours later at home, perhaps of a broken heart.
