Surveillance video captured the heartbreaking moments when a man was seen in a white Chevrolet SUV last week pull over to the side of Dowdy Ferry Road and Teagarden Road, open the back hatch of his vehicle and pull his dog out. A concerned citizen from across the street could be heard yelling at the man as the evil owner dumped his dog, hurried back into the driver’s seat and took off. Even more heartbreaking was the loyal pup trying to chase after his owner as if to say – “hey wait a minute, you forgot me!”
The poor pup barked at his owner as he left and nearly was hit by another oncoming vehicle chasing the SUV down the road.
On Saturday, a 41-year-old man was arrested and identified as Ramiro Zuniga. He has been charged with cruelty to non-livestock animals. On March 11, the Dallas Police Department’s Southeast CRT team executed a search warrant on Zuniga’s home, locating the vehicle used when abandoning the dog.
Abandoning an animal is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by a sentence of up to one year in jail or a fine of $4,000.
