EXETER — A Kingston Township man is facing animal cruelty offenses related to the deaths of his two Golden Retrievers who perished inside his vehicle with the windows rolled up while he patronized a veterans social club in June.

Jerry C. Rynkiewicz, 61, of Carverton Road, left his two dogs, named Nugget and Ceaser, inside his Ford F150 pickup truck parked on Susquehanna Avenue while he was inside the Exeter VFW Memorial Post 6518 on June 22, according to court records.

A criminal complaint filed by the Wyoming Area Regional Police Department alleges Rynkiewicz was inside the social club and was told his dogs were “in trouble.” After being informed about his dogs being in distressed, Rynkiewicz told those his truck was running and the air conditioner was turned on, the complaint says.
