Wysox, PA (WBNG Binghamton) The owner of a dog turns himself in more than two months after the dog's carcass is found burned along a Pennsylvania riverbank.
The Bradford County Humane Society said no charges will be filed.
The Humane Society launched an animal cruelty investigation in late February, after the body of a dog was found burned along a river bank at the Wysox boat launch.
Its remains and other evidence from the scene were sent to a forensics lab.
Now, investigators say toxicology and pathology results show the dog was dead before it was set on fire.
In Pennsylvania, there is no law against burning a dead dog.
