Fallen K-9 cop honored by hundreds

Officer Ryan Davis is reluctantly returning to the crime scene. He is making himself very difficult right now. Last weekend, he and his partner were investigating an alarm at this grocery store in Canton Ohio.

The only word that comes to mind is unconditional. He was unconditionally loyal, loving, supportive, he was a hero, he was a hero, as is any officer who can be so devoted.
