The customer was 'severely injured' and requires facial surgery as a result of the dog bite, the sheriff’s office said.
Dogs on leashes are allowed inside Home Depot stores.
The sheriff’s office said the woman with the dog asked another customer to give the dog a treat, but the customer was bit in the face. As Home Depot employees tended to the victim, the woman left the scene with her dog, the sheriff said.Authorities released photos of the woman in question that they were looking for. Thanks to the public, deputies were able to identify her.
The sheriff’s office did not release the names of the women, nor did they say if they are in custody. However, officials said dog owners are responsible for their pets’ actions, and “the owner would be held accountable for restitution or in the event of any enforcement action.”
