Couple's Fake Service Pitbull Bites A Child On The Face And They Flee

Our dogs provide us so much happiness; they're caring, beautiful companions soon become family members. Right? We can carry them wherever we want. Some establishments embrace the four-legged companions with open arms, while others do not.

There are clear restrictions regarding service dogs, and they are in place for a purpose. People who lie or break the regulations merely to bring their dog along with them put themselves in danger and others.

A similar incident happened with the Waldroup family. A dog will die due to an irresponsible dog owner, and a young girl is going through mental and physical suffering that no child her age should have to go through.

The Waldroups passed a table at the Loose Caboose Restaurant in Old Town Spring, where a dog with a service vest sat with a lady and a man. The dog suddenly rushed forward and buried his teeth into Ronin's face for no apparent reason. Cleveratta Waldroup, Ronin's mother, informed a local TV station about the event with tears in her eyes.

"He grabbed her by the face, and he shook her, and I saw my baby hit the ground like a little rag doll. The first thing my best friend did was grab her and put her in my arms."

Ronin was rushed away from the dog and into the bathroom, where the two ladies attempted to stop the bleeding. Meanwhile, the other customer grabbed her dog and dashed out into the parking lot, not to get him away from the other diners but to run for it. When Ronin's father, James Waldroup, learned the woman was fleeing, he followed her with his phone in hand.

"I started yelling at her, 'You can't leave; this is an accident. You can't leave.'"

The woman did not attempt to slow down or apologize. She said very little, but what she said was quite shocking.

"She had the gall to turn around and tell me it was my daughter's fault."

Little Ronin was still in the bathroom with her mother as the lady drove away, afraid, injured, and bleeding from her face.

"For them to not show any compassion or remorse even to stop and ask if my baby was OK," Mrs. Waldroup says, "it goes beyond words."

Soon after, police and an ambulance came. However, the woman, her friend, and the dog had vanished by that point. But she was incorrect if she believed she made a clean getaway. Mr. Waldroup recorded her vehicle plate on his phone, and another onlooker recorded Mr. Waldroup attempting to persuade her to take responsibility for what had occurred.

Kingston, the dog, was found five days later. The lady was tracked down by the Harris County Sheriff's Office, who requested her to surrender her dog until it could be established whether he was dangerous. He was placed in the care of Montgomery County Animal Services until a trial could be held after she gave up without a fight.

Kaydin Downey, a Service Dog trainer, acting as the Waldroup family's contact, has been actively involved in the current legal procedures and has filled iHeartDogs in on some of the more unclear information.

Kingston is set to be euthanized in the coming days due to this woman's decision to parade him about town in his vest. Downey emphasizes that the family is normally opposed to euthanizing a dog, but because Kingston had already wounded so many people, they believe it is the best option for others.

"In general, the family is against euthanization… but this dog has had previous bite cases before, and she [the owner] has continued to put a service dog vest and continued not to just take it on walks unmuzzled, but to take it in mass groups of people like restaurants and stores."

We firmly think that while there are poor breeds, there are no bad owners. These dogs might have led regular lives if they had been given sufficient care and training. However, even after the assaults, this owner made no effort to discuss significant issues.

Ronin, who is only three years old, will need further surgery in the future. Her sutures will be removed, and her face will be repaired in the following weeks. Because she is so young, the family has great expectations that she will recover fast, but it's evident that they are all emotionally scarred.

Courts have only determined whether Kingston was dangerous and ordered his euthanasia thus far. It's unknown if the county will press charges against his owner for the time being, but Downey hopes to know within the next week or two.

"I would assume falsifying a pet as a Service Animal and fleeing the scene at least."

Unfortunately, even though Kingston is dying, Texas law may allow his owner to get away with a slap on the wrist for willfully putting him and others in risky situations.
