Police service dog Danny has been whining since being placed beside hearse carrying handlers casket — Natasha Pace (@NatashaPace) June 10, 2014

During the funeral procession earlier in the day, Danny jumped up to sniff Ross' RCMP stetson.

(THE CANADIAN PRESS/Andrew Vaughan) Ross, 32, served as a police dog handler and general duty officer. He leaves behind his pregnant wife Rachael and a 19-month-old son.

Ross was killed in Moncton last week, along with fellow officer Douglas Larche and Fabrice Gevaudan. All Canadians, and Danny, mourn them today.
