The girl s family members want the dog s owner to take responsibility for what happened. ABC13 s Mycah Hatfield shares their story in the video above. WARNING: Some of the images may be graphic.
As Cleveratta Gordon-Waldroup, the girl s mother, grabbed the child to assess her injuries, her father, James Waldroup, went after the dog s handler, who was leaving the premise.
In new surveillance video obtained by ABC13 on Tuesday, the woman and the dog are seen walking down the sidewalk with the girl s father walking not far behind her.
The video does not include audio, but body language indicates an exchange between the two.
The investigation into the handler of a dog seen wearing a service vest that bit a 3-year-old girl in Old Town Spring is underway and new surveillance video has been discovered.
A 3-year-old is recovering after being bitten by a dog wearing a service vest inside of a Texas restaurant on Saturday.
Cleveratta Gordon-Waldroup, Ronin s mother, said the family had just arrived to the Loose Caboose with a close family friend. Ronin was leading the group to the line to order when she came face-to-face with a dog that the family described as a pit bull.
The toddler s mother and her father, James Waldroup, were folding up the stroller at the door, but their friend Kimberly Parker was right behind the child when she encountered the dog. It had a hold of her face and shook her, Parker said. The lady pulled on the leash, the dog released her and she just dropped like a rag doll.
