In the fourth episode of season four of Animal Cops: Houston, titled Three-Legged Achilles, the dedicated animal rescue unit is called in to investigate an alarming case of animal cruelty. The Houston SPCA team receives a tip about a dog that has been abandoned by its owner and left to fend for itself on a property. Upon arrival at the scene, the rescuers discover a pitiful sight: a young Rottweiler mix with a badly injured leg is limping around in agony, desperately searching for food and shelter.

The rescue team quickly notices that the dog's leg is nearly severed and is infected with maggots. The SPCA officers soon realize that they must act quickly if they are to save the dog's life. The dog, who they later name Achilles, is quickly removed from the dangerous property and rushed to the emergency vet clinic for immediate care.

At the veterinary hospital, the SPCA team works tirelessly to give Achilles the medical attention that he needs. It quickly becomes apparent that in order to give Achilles the best chance for a happy life, they must amputate his damaged leg. However, the surgery goes deeper than they originally thought, and they must remove even more of the dog's leg than they planned.

Despite the unfortunate circumstances and the stress that the dog has been under, Achilles proves to be a fighter. He adjusts quickly to life on three legs and begins his road to recovery with energy and determination.

Meanwhile, the Houston SPCA team continues their investigation into Achilles' case. They follow the leads to track down the dog's former owner and file charges against him for animal cruelty. The team is determined to hold the owner responsible for the suffering he caused the helpless animal.

As Achilles heals and learns to live with his new physical limitations, the SPCA team prepares him for his future adoption. They work tirelessly to find a loving home where Achilles can continue to thrive and live out the rest of his life in peace.

Throughout the episode, the team's compassion for animals shines through. They demonstrate what it means to dedicate your life to the care and protection of those who cannot speak for themselves.
