To be pedantic, as Mr. PoopyButtHole mentioned, that's peanuts for a district. For a school itself it'd make a difference but it'd probably be wasted as well, either going towards admin or some other useless expense. If you intend to donate to a school, always make stipulations on how it can be spent or they WILL misuse it.
I'm guessing Gary isn't around anymore. French Bulldogs don't live as long as many breeds. I see reference to him in 2013, so 11 years ago. That's right at the normal limit for them (and he could be older than 11 as well). Granted, he probably got the best veterinary care possible, so, maybe he's still around?
