‘Your watch has ended’: Precinct 4 deputies mourn loss of retired K9 Ultras

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – Deputies with the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office are mourning the loss of retired K9 Ultras, a longtime member of the Precinct 4 team remembered for his service and loyalty.

Ultras, who was 14, spent years working alongside deputies after joining the agency in 2015. During his career, he assisted in numerous arrests and helped keep drugs off the streets, officials said. He retired in 2022.

The constable’s office described Ultras as more than a working dog — a steady partner in the field and a friend to those who handled him. Deputies also shared their appreciation for Deputy Mike Aspras, noting the close partnership the pair built over the years.

As Precinct 4 says goodbye, deputies are honoring Ultras’ contributions and the lasting mark he left on the agency and the community he helped protect.
