The driver of the vehicle got out of the vehicle, walked behind it and simply unchained the tether to the dead grey pit bull, according to Dorson. The witness screamed at seeing the condition of the dog and asked what he was doing. The driver of the vehicle and suspected owner of the dog said, "have you considered that it could simply be an accident?" With that, the suspect got back into his vehicle and left the dog on the side of the road. The witness also noticed a second black male in the passengers' side of the vehicle and a second, larger male pit bull with its ears clipped also tethered in the back of the truck.
