In a new surveillance video that ABC13 received Tuesday, the woman and dog are seen walking down the sidewalk with the girl’s father, James Waldroup, not far behind her. There is no audio in the video, but body language indicates an exchange between the two.

“There was an accident,” James recalled and said to the handler. “”[I said,] ‘You can’t go. My daughter is bleeding in a toilet and you are running down the street. ‘”
The woman then got into a car with a man and left.

The incident is under further investigation and no criminal charges have been filed against the owner.
