The man who sparked outrage by abandoning a German Shepherd in broad daylight in Texas has been arrested, charged, and identified as an individual illegally in the U.S., the Dallas Police Department and county jail records say.

Ramiro Zuniga, 41, was arrested Saturday and charged with a misdemeanor animal cruelty charge, stemming from an incident that shocked locals last Wednesday evening.
The video, which was recorded by the animal rescue group the Dowdy Ferry Animal Commission, clearly showed an adult male abandoning the dog by Dowdy Ferry Road and Teagarden Road before speeding off, even as witnesses yelled at him. In one heartbreaking moment, the dog briefly chased after the white Chevrolet SUV into oncoming traffic. The canine avoided being hit, however, thanks to the alert and caring citizens who witnessed the abandonment in the first place.
The Dallas Police Department confirmed to Law&Crime that the then-“unknown suspect” abandoned the dog around 6:04 p.m. on Wednesday.
“Animal control responded and recovered the dog in good condition,” police noted.
In an update over the weekend, the Dallas Police Department said that Zuniga was identified as the suspect and that a search warrant was executed at his residence.
“On March 11, 2023, the Dallas Police Department’s Southeast CRT team executed a search warrant on Zuniga’s home, locating the vehicle used in the crime, and Zuniga was taken into custody,” cops said.
Zuniga was booked thereafter at the Dallas County Jail on the cruelty to non-livestock animals misdemeanor charge. While bond was set at $4,000, jail records say that Zuniga remains in custody on an immigration hold requested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Wow. People are outraged over a dog but are quiet when children and women are raped by these illegals.
Now they’ll just kill the animal.
I wander if the dog was here illegally also?
Regardless, I hope someone found an American Sponsor family to adopt him
Now children, you all have your baseball bats. The special kind of pinata today is that man hanging upside down by his ankles.
He is a bad man who hurts dogs. There is free candy stuffed in his pockets and fanny pack.
Great news…, the low life. And ponder the innocence and loyalty of a dog. Even when he did that, the dog chased after him trying to keep up. Even though he was the SOB who treated the dog like crap.
There’s a certain class of immigrants who think it is socially acceptable just to dump any unwanted item by the side of the road. Victor Davis Hanson has chronicled this practice extensively.
Doesn’t matter what it is: couch, refrigerator, the occasional animal.
“The only question I have is, Did he vote in the 2020 election?”
Multiple times.
It’s illegal to be in the US? Didn’t know that.
See my tagline.
But eating a bald eagle - that’s ok
I also should mention that this was during the Great Depression, and my Grandmother’s family wouldn’t have been able to afford a trip to the Vet for a sick dog.
For a long time that has been true. "Liberals" near me used to say the death penalty for killing a human was too harsh. Then they'd see a story about a creep who shows anonymous videos of himself online torturing puppies and laughing or another who abducts family dogs to be used as dog fight training victims and left to die shivering in pain as they bleed to death outside. THEN they say "give me five minutes with that monster and there won't be enough to identify him. Maybe one part of one finger left."
“Why are they calling an illegal alien a “Texas” driver?”
The media is all over on this. It’s a “Florida man”, a “Boston man”, a “Lawrence man”, a Fort Lauderdale man...
“It’s illegal to be in the US?”
We’re now the UN...
Ahhh diversity.
Wrong question. Correct question, how many times did he vote?
The only question I have is, how many times did he vote in the 2020 election?
Wait, whut? Mayorkas is from Mexico?
That is the truth. Before we got married, my wife got an emaciated Doberman exactly that way. College kids moved out and vanished, unclipped and undocked Dobie was left in the yard to starve. Evil pricks could have dropped the dog at the shelter... but no. She got it and took care of it.
That dog loved her like no other till the day he died.
You mean the German Shepherd, right?
