The Dog's Owner, Jennifer Romano, Now Faces Felony Charges
After 3-year old Ronin was attacked in the face by a fake service pit bull, the owner fled.
Charge with Two Felonies
UPDATE 02/09/21: On Monday, the owner of a fake service pit bull that attacked a child in the face was charged in connection with the attack. Jennifer Romano, 46, was charged with injury to a child, a 2nd degree felony, and tampering with evidence, a 3rd degree felony. During the hearing the judge set bond at $5,000 for the first charge and $2,500 for the second charge. KHOU captured the hearing, which shows Romano wearing a shirt with a large photo of a pit bull.
The unprovoked attack occurred on January 9, when Ronin Waldroup, 3-years old, and her family visited the Loose Caboose in Old Town Spring. Ronin was standing one or two feet behind the dog, which was wearing a red "service dog" vest, when it turned around and snapped at her face. Romano fled the scene after the attack (felony injury to a child), and according to police, Romano concealed the dog from authorities while they were trying to seize the dog (felony tampering).
Charging documents also revealed the pit bull, named "Kingston," had previously bitten two people in separate incidents; one within 12 months of the January attack. Last month, a Montgomery County judge ordered that Kingston be euthanized to prevent the dog from inflicting more harm. Though Romano initially said she would appeal that ruling, the dog has since been euthanized. Romano was ordered not to have any contact with the victim and victim's family.

01/26/21: Judge Orders Dog Euthanized
On Tuesday afternoon, a Montgomery County judge ruled that a dog that attacked a 3-year old girl in the face unprovoked inside a Spring restaurant earlier this month be euthanized. Justice of the Peace Precinct 3 Judge Matt Beasley ordered that "Kingston," a male pit bull terrier owned by Jennifer Romano, be put down to prevent the dog from inflicting another damaging bite. Judge Beasley rejected an argument by Romano's attorney that the canine could be “re-trained.”
"I believe that shows lack of responsibility as to what went on," Beasley said. "I do believe that this would happen again...I don't trust you're a good handler for that dog....it's by your own hand and your actions that led us here today." - Justice of the Peace Precinct 3 Judge Matt Beasley
Though Kingston was wearing a service dog vest at the time, and was falsely portrayed as a service dog for Romano, it became known during the three-day hearing that the dog was only an Emotional Support Animal (ESA), which have no protections under the American with Disabilities Act. The sole function of an ESA is to "provide comfort" not to perform a task for a person with a disability. It is not known yet whether Romano will appeal the judge's ruling, but it seems likely.
The Waldroup family, who plans on pursing a civil lawsuit against Romano, issued a statement to ABC 13 after the judge's ruling. Romano may also face criminal charges due to this attack.
"The family can finally breathe knowing this dog won't be back out in restaurants wearing vests, mauling more people. We won a small part of the battle today and we're preparing to win the war. Jennifer Romano's blatant disregard for the law and public safety needs to be brought to light and businesses need to know how to look out for other people like her." [Read full statement]
Dog Euthanized
On February 3, ABC 13 reported the dog has been euthanized. Jennifer Romano, the owner of a fake service pit bull named Kingston, decided not to appeal the ruling. Previously, John Kovach, an attorney representing Romano, said, "Ms. Romano loves Kingston and is not willing to give up on him. An appeal is forthcoming." Now that the dangerous dog hearing and the outcome of Kingston is known, we certainly hope that prosecutors file criminal charges against Romano.
01/25/21: Dangerous Dog Hearing
The dangerous dog hearing involving the fake service dog, "Kingston," belonging to Jennifer Romano began Friday in Montgomery County. On January 9, Romano took Kingston to the Loose Caboose in Old Town Spring wearing a service dog vest. As a 3-year old girl walked toward the register, Kingston suddenly snapped at her face. "He came out of nowhere and lunged and grabbed my baby by the face… and he shook her,” the mother testified at a video hearing Monday.
Romano fled the scene with Kingston after the facial attack. Little Ronin needed 14 stitches for multiple lacerations and puncture wounds, reports the Houston Chronicle. She will also need plastic surgery, her mother Cleveratta Gordon-Waldroup said. As of Monday night, the family has already raised $21,000 to help pay for the "legal action and continuous medical expenses," states the fund. Today, a witness testified that Kingston had a history of biting people in the face.
"Attorney Ronald Chen called Lily Ferguson, 19, a former roommate and friend of Romano’s, who told the court this wasn’t the first time Kingston had bit someone in the face. In June, Ferguson said, “He ripped my lip open and bit me under my left arm.” Ferguson explained she never made a formal report about the dog bite, which she said she regretted. But she subsequently sued Romano over the injury." - Houston Chronicle, January 26, 2021
This is not the first rodeo for Romano keeping a dangerous pit bull that attacked multiple victims. In 2013, the case of "Gus" was also played out in Montgomery County. Gus was spared death and sent to California, where the dog ended up on death row again after attacking again. A Texas judge later found that Romano was negligent and misrepresented her qualifications as a dog trainer, ordering her to pay $1.3 million in damages to a victim that Romano never paid a dime of.
On Tuesday, defense will call witnesses to make his case that Kingston's life, like that of Gus, should be spared after attacking multiple people and kept under the ownership of Romano, who has already been found by a court to be an unqualified dog trainer and sued at least three times for severe injuries inflicted by Kingston and Gus. Romano also faces potential criminal charges under Texas statutes after the attack on Ronin and for fleeing the scene after injury to a child.
01/15/21: Biting Dog Impounded
The fake service pit bull that attacked 3-year old Ronin Waldroup in the face last week has been surrendered by its owner. Aaron Johnson, Director of Montgomery County Animal Services, said the dog was taken into their custody Thursday. Johnson became the director in 2017, according to his Linkedin page. Thus, he was not part of the "Gus" case that began at Montgomery County Animal Services in 2013 and resulted in multiple lawsuits and the dog being sent to California.
"We believe the dog caused serious injuries to this child and is a dangerous and vicious animal. We’re seeking to ensure that this dog is unable to injure anyone in the future." - Montgomery County Attorney B.D. Griffin
A report from the Houston Chronicle late Friday confirmed that the pit bull, named "Kingston," was seized from its owner and taken into custody. County attorney B.D. Griffin said in a statement Friday that he is taking legal action against the owner of the dog. The dog has already been declared dangerous because it caused serious bodily injury, Griffin said. A hearing on January 22 will determine if the dog will be returned to its owner or held in county custody and euthanized.
The legal action against the dog owner could fall under Section 822.005 (1) Attack by Dog with "criminal negligence," when a person "fails to secure the dog and the dog makes an unprovoked attack on another person that occurs at a location other than the owner's real property," which is a third-degree felony. Because the victim is a 3-year old child, the legal action may also fall under Texas statute 22.04, Injury to a Child. Instead of aiding the child, the dog owner fled the scene.
01/13/21: Surveillance Footage
New surveillance video has been released after a woman and her fake service pit bull left the scene after her dog attacked a 3-year old girl in the face. The video shows Jennifer Romano walking away from the child's father with a brown and white pit bull wearing a red service dog vest. This appears to be the same brown and white male pit bull seen on Romano's Facebook page, named "Kingston." Investigators still have not made direct contact with the dog's owner.
On Saturday, the Waldroup family took their 3-year old daughter to the Loose Caboose in Old Town Spring. As Ronin entered the restaurant a few steps ahead of her parents, she encountered the dog. "It had a hold of her face and shook her," said a witness. The child's mother rushed Ronin to the bathroom. Her father, James, took off after Romano, who continued walking away from him. The new video has no audio, but one can see James and Romano having an animated exchange.
ABC 13 reports the Loose Caboose has received backlash after the incident, apparently about service dogs. Not only are service dogs allowed in businesses like restaurants under state and federal laws, but according to the entity's Yelp page, they are "dog friendly" too -- non-service dogs are also welcome. One reviewer said that this is "Kozmo's favorite spot to relax before we hit the shops again," referring to her dog sitting in a booth in the indoor section of the restaurant.

01/11/21: Dog Owner Identified
Old Town Spring, TX - On Saturday, a fake service pit bull attacked a child in the face and the owners fled the scene. Shortly thereafter, the child's mother identified the owner as Jennifer Romano. "Update: We are looking for Jennifer Romano," Cece Waldroup wrote. "She is the owner of the dog that attacked my 3-year old yesterday in Old Town Spring! Please help us find her! We have a number but it was disconnected." The police are trying to locate this person, she said.
According to Waldroup, Romano fled in a car with a man named Perry Muras. But they did not flee without being confronted by her husband. A witness captured this on video. "This was from a witness of my husband confronting the people to not leave!" Waldroup said in a follow up post. Another post zooms in on Romano's face, which is not covered by a Covid-19 mask. A friend of Waldroup, Crystal Johnson, posted more images of Romano fleeing the scene in a Toyota Camry.
On Sunday, Waldroup went Live on Facebook, making a plea to the public. "On January 9, 2021, my daughter was viciously attacked and mauled by a pit bull disguised as a service animal inside a restaurant. The owner of that dog fled from the restaurant with my husband chasing after her, begging for her to stay and show some compassion and to file a report. Please. If you have any idea of her whereabouts, please let us know. Her name is Jennifer Romano," Waldroup said.
"She can possibly be found in the Houston, Spring, Woodland or Conroe area. Please share this video as much as you can. No child or parent should have to deal with this kind of trauma. This is not the first incident. I am the third victim of this woman and her dogs." Waldroup then shows images of her daughter's facial injuries. She asks people to please share her video on social media. On Monday, Waldroup posted photographs of Romano, and the pieces flew together.
Back in 2013, Jennifer Romano of Maggie's House Rescue was called out in a petition on the grounds of fraud and demands for an animal cruelty investigation. Enter the highly litigated case of "Gus" the pit bull. Gus spent 425 days at Montgomery County animal shelter after attacking Amber Rickels,1 who had been fostering the dog for Romano. Gus was later sent to Cesar Millan's Dog Psychology Center for "rehabilitation," but landed on death row again, causing another lawsuit.
As of the afternoon of January 11, 2021, Waldroup is desperately seeking information on Romano's whereabouts. We saw in comments on Waldroup's Facebook page that Houston-based ABC 13 News is investigating. Hat's off to Waldroup and her husband James, who confronted Romano and her accomplice outside of the restaurant and were able to track down her identity. Hat's off to the bystanders who also captured video footage of the couple fleeing in their Toyota.
Monday Evening Updates
On Monday evening, ABC 13 aired a report featuring the child's parents, Cleveratta "Cece" Gordon-Waldroup and her husband James. The family had just arrived at the Loose Caboose with a close friend, Kimberly Parker. Ronin was leading the group to the line to order when she encountered the fake pit bull service dog. "It had a hold of her face and shook her," Parker said. "The lady pulled on the leash, the dog released her and she just dropped like a rag doll."
The mother rushed Ronin to the bathroom. "I just needed to stop the bleeding. I just needed to stop the bleeding," Gordon-Waldroup said. When Ronin's father learned she was bitten by a dog, he turned around and asked, "What dog?" That is when two people at the door said, "She's running that way." James chased the woman and her dog down the street, yelling to her that she needed to stay. Romano yelled back at him, "It's your daughter's fault" and drove off, he said.
Fake Pit Bull "Rehabbers"
America abounds with self-appointed "dog whispers" who claim to specialize in magical pit bull rehabilitation. The most recent notorious case is Steffen Baldwin, who currently faces 42 charges related to animal abuse and fraud. None of these fake pit bull "rehabbers," however, have such a miserable, failed history as Romano. "Gus" alone landed on death row twice after attacking at least four times, including Romano's then boyfriend, which resulted in at least two civil lawsuits.
It's unknown which of Romano's pit bulls attacked the child. Though, her now defunct website did show a white pit bull wearing a service dog vest. "Gus" never made it out of California alive after his second stint on death row in 2014. Jennifer Romano deleted her Facebook page after her fake pit bull service dog attacked Ronin and she fled the scene. The Harris County Sheriff's Office said they know who owns the biting dog and have a "meeting scheduled with her," reports ABC 13.
Channel 2 News and Fox 26 also aired segments Monday night featuring Gordon-Waldroup and her family. Investigators are considering a charge of criminal negligence against Romano.

One day after Romano fled the scene after her fake service pit bull bit a child in the face, Amber Rickles publicly responded: "Jenny Romano is out there again and this time it was a child!"

So, not only a fake service dog, but a known *biting* fake service dog and a pitbull to boot.
This is a disservice to all those seeing eye and hearing ear and actually *trained* proper goldies/shepherds/standard poodles/spaniels/labs etc. and their responsible owners.
Some kind of requirements here, plus BSL would put a halt to this nonsense.
Perhaps the mom of the wounded child should sue the restaurant for not upholding any standards of *what* dogs they are allowing in their establishment?
I bet Romano has already hidden that dog somewhere. How many other dogs like this has she adopted out??
That pathetic pit owner needs to be banned from owning any pet, ordered to pay the little girl’s medical bills, and jailed. This is infuriating. And the landshark should be euthanized asap.
The these restaurants need regulations too. Dogs do not belong in restaurants; ESPCIALLY pit bulls of all things. Where are the policies to stop fake service pits?!?!
Woah! You may have something on the restaurant for shared liability. Check out the Yelp page for Loose Caboose before it is selectively edited. The place is dog friendly. Of their 41 photos, 4 are of 4 different dogs that are clearly not service animals.
A review from 2017 is a yelper saying you can bring your dog.
Sooo…
It’s a “dog friendly” restaurant but they don’t want to take any responsibility for ensuring the safety for all people and friendly dogs and they don’t want to ban pitbulls and upset the pitnutters?
We see how that worked out for them.
“Service dogs” don’t seem to have anything to do with this regardless of what some pit owner is claiming…
When I see an establishment advertising itself as “dog friendly,” I consider myself warned. And I stay good and far away from said establishment.
Isn’t it against Health Department rules to allow animals in any location that prepares or serves food? Service dogs are the only exception. Why are they allowing non-service dogs access inside a restaurant? Such “dog friendly” rules are usually limited to outdoor seating areas such as a patio or sidewalk.
Has anyone contacted the Health Department about Loose Caboose’s lax rules?
Trouble is, public accommodations are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to service animals.
Federal law (the Americans With Disabilities Act [ADA]) does not allow adequate vetting of purported service animals. It only allows asking a patron with a purported service animal:
1. Is this animal required because of a disability?
2. What work or tasks is this animal trained to perform?
Failure to accommodate a service animal would put the restaurant on the hook for an ADA lawsuit and Federal penalties of up to $75K for the first violation. Dishonest service dog fakers know to fib around those questions.
So, to avoid an ADA lawsuit, Federal penalties, and bad publicity, public accommodations typically give the benefit of the doubt to the person claiming a need for a service dog.
Under existing law, identifying an animal as a service animal is on the honor system, but there are too many dishonorable people for the honor system to work.
Maybe we need Federal licensing of service animals, and disqualification of dangerous breeds such as pit bulls.
Scratch the owner of a dangerous dog, find a dangerous dog owner.
People who harbor dangerous canines bring misery to unsuspecting innocent victims. People who harbor dangerous canines leave a trail of misery in their wake. Anytime a person is in reasonable proximity to a dangerous canine, that person is at risk of becoming a tragic victim of severe body harm. The dog owner who fled the scene: They are just merely following their innate and all too common anti-social personality programming. What else can be expected of people who force dangerous canines upon innocents?
Anyone with a Linkedin profile wants to do some digging there is a Jenny Romano in the Houston, TX area who is listed as a veterinary professional.
Ths same Jenny Romano had a Jenny’s Pets / Animal Fundraiser on FB that is now defunct (or she took it down due to this latest incident).
Man. If you search Jenny Romano on GoFundMe it appears she has 5 fundraisers with only two of them still being active. She keeps using a different TX town (Spring is used 3 times, Round Rock, Conroe) to fool people but they are all her.
A few years ago, I was in a Tucson restaurant and almost got caught in the middle of a dog fight. That’s right. In a restaurant that’s primarily focused on serving food to human beings.
Neither of the two dogs was a pit bull. But both were rocking those service dog vests. Probably the kind that their owners purchased on the Internet.
Did I ever go back to that restaurant? Nope.
I wonder how many other patrons made the same decision as I did. Because, at the time of this dog fight, the restaurant was packed with the lunchtime crowd.
I watched a fake service dog attack a woman sitting next to it in a Weight Watchers meeting. When was the last time you saw a real medium sized service dog on a chair? My dog was required to relax on the floor!
There’s a Go-Fund-Me page for this little angel. This whole back story with vicious Gus and now this other monster is appalling. These people need to be arrested and sued.
I would love it if Amber Rickles made an appearance on this blog to tell us if Jenny every paid a dime. From Animals 24-7: “Rickles was on May 18, 2015 awarded $1.3 million in damages for the Texas attack, suffered after she boarded the dog for pit bull rescuer Jennifer Romano. But, Rickles told ANIMALS 24-7, “I have never recieved a dime of that money, nor will I ever because Jenny Romano can’t and won’t pay.””
Also, for Amber to talk about how Jenny and her ilk victim-blamed her. I read more about this case and Jenny’s counterclaim was that Amber’s boarding kennel was advertised as full-service boarding and training and that this was basically false advertisement because she could not handle ALL dogs, most specifically her extremely aggressive, Gus.
Per Jenny’s M.O., she blames a 3-year-old victim and she scurries away from this “hit-and-run.” Does anyone know if hit-and-run is a felony charge in TX? At this point, how many known victims are there of Jenny’s choices?
Facial scars are bad enough, but I worry about damage to the parotid salivary gland and the V2 branch of the facial nerve. She may not experience a dry mouth until she is a teen. She may also have atrophy of this large gland and facial fat which would make her face asymmetrical. Ronin may have a very crooked smile. She may be left with problems drinking fluids due to 1/2 of her upper lip being paralyzed. When she is older, she may have trouble kissing.
Unbelievable. A family goes to dinner and their kid gets attacked. I don’t care if the kid poked the dog in the eye (which I know she didn’t) a real service dog wouldn’t take off her face!
Okay some people want to live with pit bulls. But why are these horrible creatures inflicted on the rest of us?
I agree Willow. If I had a *real* service dog and a kid poked them…I might yell at the parents because my working dog is trying to work and now their kid is messing with my dog that’s trying to do its job.
The last thing I would expect is that my working dog would mangle the kid before I told the parents, off.
Someone on Ronin’s GoFundMe gave 5 dollars so they could blame the parents and say, “Why was the child leading the adult?” And so it begins. That made my head spin. Maybe because the family thought they were in a safe place plus it is easier to watch where your children are going if they are ahead of you. He went on to launch a huge pit apologist statement complete with there is no such thing as a pit bull and they are good dogs. When will it end? When will there be any kind of justice? When will people like Romano be punished?
There are not enough words to express how angry I am seeing this. I hope the pit nutter faces jail time for this. A 3 year old will no be damaged for life because of these nutters and their fake service monsters.
How does Harris County Sheriff’s Office explain not speaking to the pit bull’s owner by 1/13/2021 for an attack that occurred on 1/9/2021?
It is worth pointing out that one of Jenny’s 5 GoFundMe, that had its last donation a year ago was for a female pit named Queenston. Any possible relation to Kingston?

Reddit also picked this up and there is a photo of one of her prior pit bulls wearing a similar service dog vest. This is not her first rodeo pretending a “rescue” is a real service dog:
https://www.reddit.com/r/BanPitBulls/comments/kvc27d/pit_bull_rescuer_jennifer_romano_of_maggies_house/
I should have pointed this out before I posted. If you blow up the photo on Reddit that dog’s vest has a dopey medical symbol (snake wrapped around a staff) and the word “I AM A” above it. I can only presume that below it are the words “SERVICE DOG.”
Please catch my eyeballs as they are rolling across the floor faster than I can jog over to catch them.
Pitbulls. Are. Not. Temperamentally. Sound. Enough. To. Be. Any. Kind. Of. Service. Dog. Ever.
…………..(neither are dalmatians, for that matter, but their owners aren’t stupid enough to believe their dogs are clever)
I fail to understand why dog owners can’t fathom this simple reality.
The problem is that pitbull owners have their own “simple reality”. They will concede that selective breeding can be used to determine physical appearance, but don’t understand that it can also determine temperament. They believe that a vicious dog had to have been abused, and since their own dog has received nothing but love, they will never attack unprovoked. And it doesn’t help that a well intentioned but ill informed celebrity can go on national tv to advance this myth,
Jeez, if a kid gets hurt in a restaurant running around wildly and gets boiling soup dumped on them when they collide with a wait staff serving food–that’s on the parent.
If the kid gets mangled by a dog, that’s the equivalent of being maimed with a fork by another customer–that’s solely on the party that did the maiming although there may be liability if the restaurant knew the customer/dog was dangerous–which is unlikely.
This really doesn’t take rocket surgery to figure out. Too bad the law is not as sensible as the average person.
Thank goodness Montgomery County decided to neutralize the threat and also decided to hold the criminal responsible.
Did the little girl have to get rabies shots?
Anytime a dog owner flees and the victim has to get rabies shots the dog owner should face a separate assault charge, in addition to whatever charges come from the first attack. Likewise it should be illegal to leave the scene of a dog attack. Sadly it isn’t.
I hope this fake is also referred to Federal authorities because this is a Federal crime as well.
Why hasn’t she been arrested yet? What are they waiting for? This is so frustrating.
This is just unbelievable that another one of her dogs mauled someone and this time it was a child. Its even worse that she is trying to blame the child like she did the last victim who was mauled by her other dog. How many dogs that she owns has to maul people before she’s never allowed to own a dog again. I have first hand knowledge of her other dog Gus as my dog was attacked by him at Cesar Millans dog psychology center when Gus was court ordered to go there.
This is the last dog Jenny Romano owned that mauled people and other dogs.

Yes I’m the owner of Ace, he’s an Alaskan malamute not husky. I still have him. Yes I am aware that Gus attacked multiple dogs at the dog psychology center after attacking mine. Then him attacking a few other people after being released from the DPC early violating Texas court orders. I’m just in shock she allowed another one of her dogs do this and is blaming the child. Jenny has had Kingston for awhile now. She may have even owned him when she had Gus.
I hate to ask, how badly was your dog injured? I would also like to know has CM handled this situation, how it was explained to you, what was done to make it right.
In my mind’s eye, ANY pitbull is a FAKE SERVICE DOG. They’re butchers, murderers, maulers, mutilators, anything BUT a dog capable of aiding a disabled human (unless that disabled human is looking to murder someone, or commit suicide by dog).
Just another example of the type of SCUM that gravitate towards these breeds. Had the unmitigated gall to run away after HER DOG attacked, a child no less. Compete SCUM that NEVER take responsibility for the destruction their animals commit.
Like that celebrity douche Henry Golding, who’s pitbull attacked another dog in a park. He RAN AWAY, fortunately several people used their phones to video tape him, and he was FORCED to come forward. Heinous, scummy people.
Ya she owned Winston when she had Gus. This link above shows a photo of her, Winston and cesar when you click on it.
“white pit bull wearing a service dog vest”
That would mean she has had Winston since atleast when Gus was at Cesars in 2014.
Thank Goodness that the judge ordered the dog to be euthanized. Thank Goodness that the judge knows that dangerous canines can not be trained to be non-dangerous. Thank Goodness that the judge also has found that the owner shows lack of responsibility. Thank Goodness that the owner “also faces potential criminal charges under Texas statutes after the attack on Ronin and for fleeing the scene after injury to a child.”
Today’s update shows that all official legal proceedings pertaining to dangerous canines are not 100% against the de facto victim. It is nice to see one tiny ray of hope in the broad, wide and deep river of tears that is directly caused hourly, daily, weekly and monthly by dangerous canines and their owners.
Good news! Jenny should admit that Kingston is not even an ESA and that she does not have a disabling mental health condition to require an ESA.
I’m so glad that monster was put down.
Wow, can’t believe she wore a pit bull shirt to court. She’s really not sensible, to say the least.
It shows the mental disconnect. Just shocked at how long it took to even begin the process for justice in this case. If this woman had run over the child with her car and then fled, wouldn’t she have been sought more quickly?
Something tells me that the pit bull on her sweatshirt is Kingston. So defiant and disrespectful showing up wearing that. My other thought is that she is the last person you want working at your restaurant where she is going to encourage all her friends to come and visit with their fake service pit bulls. Based on the article about her charges, the child is at least the 4th person bitten by Kingston (male friend admitted it to officers it happened years ago, a female roommate was also bitten, the article references yet another bite in the past year).
Now Cesar’s dog Junior has apparently killed Queen Latifahs dog a few years ago and permanently injured another person in a separate incident. Neither Cesar or Jenny Romano learned a damned thing from the Gus debacle.
