Lititz, Pennsylvania – Earlier this month, a school facility dog named Callie died after being left in a hot car. Callie was a facility dog for J.R. Bonfield Elementary in the Warwick School District.
Warwick School District Superintendent Jason Reifsnyder sent to parents and staff regarding the dog’s death:
“On June 11, Callie was left in a hot car and did not survive. It is a devastating loss and one this district has taken seriously from day one. Law enforcement was contacted immediately, the district cooperated fully, and their review has since concluded.”
According to a news release from the Lititz Borough Police, no charges will be filed. The agency said:
“The LBPD conducted a timely and thorough investigation. The subject of the investigation fully cooperated with police. The investigation was then reviewed by the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office, and it was determined by the District Attorney’s Office that the subject’s actions and intent simply did not rise to the level of a criminal act.”
No word about whether or not the car holding Callie was on school grounds or not.
Rest in peace Callie.
