🚨 LOST HUSKIES ALERT 🚨

Two gorgeous Huskies — one male and one female — got loose and decided to go on a little adventure to the High School to visit our SRO’s.

They’re friendly, fluffy, and clearly looking for their people. If these are YOUR dogs (or you know the owner), please reach out ASAP so we can get them home safe! (903) 510-7550.

Congratulations to Officer Gould! He received a First Responder of the Year Award through ETCOG for saving a life during a house fire. He risked his own life, without fire protection equipment, to enter a fully engulfed house to help a person make it out safely. We are honored to have him on our team. He is a great example of how our officers are dedicated to serving others here in Whitehouse.
