A Massachusetts State Trooper's heartbreaking letter written just before he took his beloved K9 partner to be put to sleep was shared thousands of times on Facebook in mere hours and shows the inseperable bond of police partners, no matter their species. In Trooper Christopher Coscia's nine years with German shepherd Dante, he came to see the the dog he calls 'Type A' as the truest of friends, even if he is 'best described as a one-person dog. 'Every morning when I opened the door to his kennel he would jump up on me, wrap his paws around my waist, get his morning greeting and pat from me, storm up the stairs, and push the door open ready to go to work,' he wrote.
