Retired Sheriff Dan McClelland and his crime-fighting partner Midge. CLEVELAND - The Ohio county sheriff and his tiny police dog were inseparable, their lives unwaveringly intertwined.It thus seems fitting that retired Geauga County Sheriff Dan McClelland, 67, and his crime-fighting partner Midge, 16, would both die on Wednesday — McClelland, at a hospital after a lengthy battle with cancer and Midge, a few hours later at home, perhaps of a broken heart.McClelland retired at the end of 2016 after 13 years as sheriff in this semi-rural county east of Cleveland.
