Watch Cop Meet His New K9 Partner After His Dog Died Saving His Life

An Ohio police officer has picked a new, four-legged partner after his K-9 colleague Jethro was laid to rest in a police funeral befitting a hero. Officer Ryan Davis and Jethro were responding to a burglary call, when the German Shepherd entered the store and was shot four times. At the K9s4COPS Foundation in Houston, Davis auditioned more than a dozen candidates put them through a battery of tests. Davis selected Tuko, a German Shepherd with a demonstrated skill for catching bad guys. #InsideEdition

Anyone who’s ever had a bond with a German Shepherd dog knows it’s like no other bond in life!

Anyone who would harm an animal doesn’t deserve to breathe air.

Im glad he had such an amazing funeral. That dog did more great things in those short 3 years then most people in 70+years.

My GSD Tobias RIP was not a police dog but he protected me 24 / 7, bestest of friends and companion. Buried him under a big oak tree 20 feet from my bedroom window. After 5 months am not embarrassed to say that I shed a tear daily. Greetings from South Texas.

He said he would trade places with the dog. Love doesn't get any stronger than that. What a bond they had and I pray that he and his new partner stay safe.
