A Houston Police Department K-9 officer died Monday after being left alone in a car by his handler.
According to KPRC 2 sources, the sergeant had taken three of his dogs to a training facility near Hobby Airport to run them through some drills.
He took two of the dogs with him inside the building but left one in the back of his patrol vehicle. It is not known how long the animal had been left alone. A statement released by HPD explained that the sergeant left the car on with the air conditioning running, but when he returned, the vehicle had turned off and the dog, Aron, was in distress. Aron was rushed to a veterinarian but succumbed to heat exhaustion.
HPD is investigating to determine what happened but explained that it is not uncommon to leave the dogs alone in vehicles and there are multiple fail safes in place to prevent such tragedies from occurring.“HPD K-9 vehicles are equipped with a system that notifies the handler, sounds the horn, activates cooling fans, and rolls down the care windows, if for some reason the vehicle shuts down. This did not happen in this instance.
