A World in Pictures- Emily Chavez

I have decided to take this assignment on in a more positive light, rather than show a disaster or tragedy. Below is a picture of Figo, a Kentucky police dog, placing his paw on the tomb of is human police partner, Jason Ellis.

Officer Ellis was killed in an ambush 5 days before this was taken. This photo shows the unconditional love a dog has for his human. The death of Officer Ellis was by no means something we should look at in a positive light, but the respect and love that his K-9 partner has and still has for him should be. Figo knew what a great man Officer Ellis was and was heartbroken at the loss of him.
I think we can all take a lesson of love form Figo and this photo captures it perfectly. It's incredibly powerful to see an animal, who can't even speak, have love for a man and to see the intelligence Figo has in knowing what has happening. 
They say dog is a man's best friend and I'm sure Officer Ellis stands by that notion, even today.
