HOUSTON -- A police dog died while searching for home invasion suspects in north Houston, KPRC Local 2 reported Wednesday.
Harris County Precinct 4 deputy constables said several people broke into a home on Sterling Stone at Stone Bluff Tuesday night.
Deputies caught one person, but two others ran into some nearby woods.
Dogs were brought in to search for the suspects. During the search, one of the dogs, a 5-year-old named Bleck, was found dead.
Officials are not yet sure how the dog died.
"We searched for the suspects and lost them, unfortunately. Somewhere in the process, our canine in a very thick wood-line succumbed to an unknown injury," said Capt. Wally Wieghat of the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office.
The dog showed no signs of trauma. A necropsy will be conducted to determine the cause of the death of the Czech-German Shepherd mix.
Wieghat said the dog's handler is taking the death very hard.
The two home invasion suspects escaped.
