COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS â More than just a canine, Kozmo was a member of the Mesquite Police Department and did what any other officer on any given day would do. protect and serve.
Kozmo, a 5-year-old canine was a member of the Mesquite Police Department since 2017 and gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty Monday.
Texas A and M s Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital is working to determine what may have caused his death. These dogs aren t just dogs to us. These are members of our police family. Kozmo was an amazing and loyal dog and ultimately he gave his life the night before last doing what he was trained to do, Lt. Stephen Biggs with the Mesquite Police Department said.
Covid-19 took a lot of things away from people, be it loved ones, livelihoods, jobs, or opportunities. In the Houston food and beverage industry, it shook structures and left workers in the dark for weeks, sometimes months.Â
Sasha Grumman was one of those workers. In late 2019 she started as executive chef at Rosalie Italian Soul, the anticipated restaurant from celebrity chef Chris Cosentino. After those typically blurry first few months, Rosalie started to settle into a groove, says Grumman, and then Covid-19 shut it down temporarily. I m a make-it-work and adapt kind of person, so I really wanted to keep working, but it just didn t make sense, says Grumman. I came to terms on that rather quickly.
