Robert J. Wallish III, a 54-year-old man from Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, has been accused of shooting a pet dog in rural Pennsylvania and dumping its remains near his home in Hummelstown. He was arraigned in Clinton County on charges of aggravated cruelty to animals, tampering with evidence, and abuse of a corpse, and was released on $10,000 unsecured bail.
The charges stem from the tragic incident that occurred on December 16, where Wallish allegedly shot an 11-year-old yellow Labrador retriever belonging to Andrew and Alyssa Gavlock in Noyes Township in western Clinton County. The arrest affidavit provides details of the incident.
The Gavlock’s beloved pet was senselessly killed, and its remains were callously disposed of by Wallish. The community of Renovo, where the incident took place, has been shocked and saddened by the news of this animal cruelty.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about the case to come forward and provide any relevant details that could help bring justice for the Gavlock family and their beloved pet. The investigation is ongoing, and Wallish is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing.
Animal cruelty is a serious offense, and individuals who commit such heinous acts will be held accountable for their actions. The community is coming together to support the Gavlock family during this difficult time and to ensure that justice is served for their beloved pet.
