Recently retired K9 dies

SMITH COUNTY — The Smith County Sheriff’s Office is mourning the loss of their former K9 Lobo, who died earlier this month. According to the sheriff’s office and our news partner KETK, Lobo and his handler, Deputy Constable Jose Terrazas, retired from the force earlier this year after nearly a decade of service.

During his time on the force, the sheriff’s office said Lobo was an exceptional dog and a trusted companion, a courageous protector and a devoted partner to Terrazas. He will also be remembered for faithfully serving his community with strength and commitment.

“Although Lobo’s watch has ended, his legacy and impact will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and served beside him,” the sheriff’s office said. “His dedication to duty and love for his handler and community will never be forgotten.”
