The Houston Police Department is mourning one of its four-legged officers after he was left inside a cruiser that stopped running, ABC 13 reported.
Aron, a 4-year-old K-9, died from heat exhaustion on Monday.
In a statement, the department said that Aron’s handler left him in “a running, air-conditioned patrol vehicle, which is a necessary and common practice when the K-9 partner is not actively engaged in police work.”
“When Aron’s police handler returned to the vehicle, it was discovered that the engine had shut off and Aron was in distress. He was transported to an emergency veterinarian clinic but ultimately succumbed to the heat,” the statement continued.
A system that notifies K-9 handlers in the event the vehicle shuts down, such as honking the horn, activating air conditioning, and rolling down windows, did not happen in Aron’s case because he was placed in a regular HPD cruiser.
“Please keep Aron’s handler and the entire K-9 team in your prayers as they mourn the loss of Aron,” HPD’s statement concluded.

I dunno, everyone. I've had Cherry for 5 months now and I still can't get over that I have a DOG!!!!
Like??? Do you ever get used to this feeling? This feeling that this little creature, whose ancestors are WOLVES, chooses you and you would DIE for them and vice versa?
Having a dog is wild, y'all.
