"He was responsible for getting numerous suspects off the streets of Houston and protecting his city from explosive devices," HPD said in a Tweet. "K9 Baro will live on in the hearts of everyone lucky enough to know him. His strong desire to work, yet loving & gentle personality truly made him a one-of-a-kind K9. Rest easy good boy. We will never forget you."
