Temple University is mourning the loss of its police K9 Chandler who passed away Sunday, the police department says.

Police say "Southern Star Lightning," affectionately known as "Bolt," escaped after knocking down his fence overnight.

"We jokingly told Bolt that he might not make it into the mounted unit and should stick to his part-time job as an escape artist!"

Police are reminding animal owners to check their fences and gates regularly to make sure they are locked.
