HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A popular Houston Police canine had one of his legs amputated in an effort to stop the spread of bone cancer, but that's not slowing this dog down.

T-Rex is now nominated for K9s of Valor's "K9 of the Year" award. You can vote for T-Rex here to help him win prizes including treats, toys and safety gear!

T-Rex is learning to walk on three legs and is already figuring out his balance when he goes outside. When he learned he made the top 10 for this award, he ran around his backyard!
