Car Stolen At Holiday Light Show With Family's Dog Inside: Police

CALEDONIA, WI — A family from St. Francis is hoping to be reunited with their dog before Christmas after their car was stolen with him inside from a holiday lights festival in Caledonia on Friday, the Caledonia Police Department announced via Facebook.

Bruno, a ten-month-old Boston Terrier, came along with the family for a ride through Jellystone Park's light show, but police say when the family stepped away from the car, leaving Bruno inside with the heat on, the car was stolen.

Police said Monday there have been no reports of the car showing up so far even after it was entered as stolen.

"The family is devastated by the loss of Bruno and would love to be reunited with him before Christmas," Caledonia police said via Facebook. "The vehicle can be replaced, but Bruno holds a special meaning for them."

Bruno is black and white and has brown specks on his body, police said, and he was last seen wearing a Spiderman collar and a grey sweater. The vehicle is a green 2014 Land Rover LR2 with Wisconsin plate ANS-2145.

Police asked anyone who knows where Bruno or the vehicle is to report it anonymously through CrimeStoppers of Racine County, to call dispatch directly at 262-886-2300, or to call Detective Chris Schuster at 262-835-4423 ext. 180. Case number:21-20208
