Ohio Woman Charged With Felony Assault and Child Endangerment After Allegedly Using Dog to Attack a Girl

Cassier Thierauf was charged with felony assault and child endangerment after allegedly using her dog to attack a six-year-old girl, per a local report. Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell told Inside Edition that the woman lives on one side of a duplex while the young girl's family lives on the other.

The prosecutor told the news outlet that the incident began when the Ohio woman and another person allegedly took drugs in the home's backyard, which the six-year-old's mother filmed. The argument started when the kid's mom quickly went inside their house to call the police. While the mother was calling the authorities, the kid, her sister, and another girl were playing in the front yard. Thierauf suddenly trespassed their property and allegedly opened the front door, telling her pit bull boxer to "go get them."

The outlet reported that in another video provided to officers, Thierauf can be heard yelling at the girl's mother, "your kids shouldn't have f***** with me and my dogs." Authorities reported that the little girl sustained injuries, especially to her mouth, as the dog bit her head and body, which needed multiple emergency surgeries. However, the suspect claimed that the dog just went inside their property as the front door was not closed properly.

The court record showed that Thierauf is being held on a $25,000 bond. On the other hand, the dog has since been evicted from the duplex home.

Another woman from Oklahoma was attacked while letting her dog go outside. MSgt. Gary Knight, Oklahoma Police Department, said the incident occurred around 2 a.m. while the 74-year-old woman got up to let her little chihuahua out.

Another girl from North Philadelphia was attacked by a dog while playing outside. The incident was documented by a video and showed that Nyla Watt was riding a scooter when suddenly, a dog and another individual entered the frame.
