RAMIRO ZUNIGA caught on video dumping a dog on the side of a southern Dallas road

- Texas, USA -


After a video was released by the Dowdy Ferry Animal Commission showing a male abandoning a dog, Dallas Police Department arrested 41-years-old RAMIRO ZUNIGA and charged him with cruelty to non-livestock animals - abandon, a Class A misdemeanor.


Police said that ZUNIGA intentionally abandoned the dog, a young German shepherd, in the 9000 block of Teagarden Road on Wednesday, March 8, 2023.


The Dowdy Ferry Animal Commission released the video on Friday, March 10, 2023, and it showed ZUNIGA in an older model white Chevrolet SUV pull over, open the tailgate, and the furvictim is pushed out of the vehicle by ZUNIGA. In the background people can be heard yelling at ZUNIGA, who clearly ignores the witnesses, and drives off while the furbaby chases the vehicle.


Neighbors who witnessed ZUNIGA’s despicable act, were able to capture the dog. Dallas Animal Services then responded to the scene and took custody of the voiceless victim who reportedly had a minor leg injury but is otherwise OK.

In a Facebook post, Dallas Animal Services and Adoption Center said: “We've had many inquiries about a German Shepherd-type dog featured in a news report about an animal abandonment caught on camera. We can guarantee the animal is safe, but we cannot otherwise comment on an ongoing police investigation - we appreciate your help in preserving the integrity of the case!”


After the release of the video, PETA offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the male's arrest.


Investigators were able to trace ZUNIGA’s vehicle to his residence, and on March 11, 2023, following the execution of a search warrant, ZUNIGA was placed under arrest. ZUNIGA is being held at the Dallas County Jail.
