One of Katy Police Department’s finest officers is ready to enjoy a long and happy retirement full of naps, tennis balls and more naps, the department announced in a September 19 Facebook post.

K9 officer Hero became a member of the Katy Police Department in February 2016 and was assigned to Sgt. Robert McQurter as his handler.

“We extend our deepest gratitude to K9 Hero and Sgt. McQurter for their unwavering service and dedication,” KPD said in the post. “Their hard work and bravery have been instrumental in keeping our community safe. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement, Hero! Good boy!!”
