At first, the suspect refused to exit, and the police issued several warnings that K-9 Hoss would be released by its handler.

After several minutes, the suspect surrendered to authorities without force.

As the suspect was being booked into custody, he recalled a previous arrest last year where he got bitten by K-9 Hoss and wasn't looking for a repeat performance.

In a previous arrest last year, the same suspect barricaded themself and was wanted on several felony warrants. K-9 Hoss was released and quickly apprehended and found the same suspect.

This time around, the suspect had no interest in encountering K-9 Hoss again.

All we have to say about that is "Good Boy".
