World’s Smallest Police Dog Dies of Heartbreak Same Day Owner Dies of Cancer

They were partners in crime. Midge, the world's smallest police dog, and Sheriff Dan McClelland, worked together for years to keep Geauga County in Ohio safe. Midge, a rat terrier Chihuahua, was by McClelland's side for 16 years. He was a 44-year veteran of the force, and a decade of that time was spent working with Midge. But the story of Midge and McClelland took a sad turn recently when McClelland passed away after a bout with cancer. Midge, at home, passed away on the very same day.
