Hatem Abuharbid, 54, was killed while working at a convenience store on Feb. 7, but his dog had no way of knowing that he was dead and waited at the door of their home, KTRK reported.
A neighbor, Cassandra Eubanks, said she noticed the dog pacing back and forth at the front gates of the apartment complex, where cars pull in.
"He would follow the cars and when he would realize that it was not his owner's car, he would just stand there and look helpless," Eubanks said.
Abuharbid was shot by robbers while working at a Kay-B convenience store, police said. He later died from his injuries at a nearby hospital.
Police said the investigation into Abuharbid's death remains ongoing.
The dog was very shy and wouldn't let anyone come close, so neighbors put out food and water.
