Rivas can be seen turning his head to one side as he longingly watches the video. 

The officer posted the video online with the caption: ‘Hello I’m a K9 officer from Holland. In this video you can see Rivas And Dana, both duty dogs, playing.

‘Exactly four weeks after making this video Dana died. This week I was showing Rivas a part of that video – look at his reaction.’
