A woman, who claims to have been “frustrated” with her small dog, is facing an animal cruelty charge after tossing the pet out of her minivan near Weatherford, Texas. According to WFAA News, a woman’s surveillance camera captured the cruel incident on video and lead to the suspect.
A woman, named Vanessa, found the Chihuahua mix named Pumpkin, on Thursday morning. After discovering the dog, Vanessa decided to review her surveillance footage to see if there was a clue as to where the dog came from. Sure enough, the footage revealed the truth…a woman driving a minivan had dumped Pumpkin out of the car. The video also caught the license plate on the minivan, which led the authorities to Pumpkin’s owner, 43-year-old Janet Byas.
Initially, Byas denied throwing Pumpkin from her car, but after being shown the damning video, she admitted that she was the culprit. Sgt. Ricky Montgomery with the Parker County Sheriff’s Office said that, “She indicated that she was frustrated with the dog because it kept getting out of her property and she couldn’t handle it anymore.” Sgt. Montgomery’s response to the woman’s excuse was a simple “grow up.”
Pumpkin is receiving care at the Parker County Animal Control.

how about I take her for a ride and throw her out of the car, what goes around, comes around!
Sgt. Montgomery, you said it all. God bless you
She is sick should not own animals
Throw her out of a plane and see how she survives. What a moron to do this to a small,defenseless dog. Kept getting out of the property? Is she kidding? Leave the dog inside the house or in a kennel that you can lock. These idiots have every excuse possible don’t they.
B****!!! Someone ought to throw you out of a moving train, plane, or even from the top of a 12 story building because you’re just too damned vile, selfish and nasty to keep around.
Throw her ass in Jail!!!! That’s where she belongs!!!
You’re a piece of shit like to throw you off a cliff you fucking bitch
Toss the stupid cunt from a vehicle. She if it’s as fun when it’s her
Grow up is right! I’m glad they found the POS may she get more than a slap on the wrist!
PLEASE do not return Pumpkin to this terrible woman! I take it she wasn’t charged, did not have to pay the medical bills and served no time in the free hotel. Should also have a lifetime ban on owning any more animals.
Lock her up and throw away the key.
It’s heartbreaking !
What will she get ? Jail time ? No?
Animals are like us !
Seriously , some action needs to be fone w hefty fine and long jail time !.
Bitch rot in hell!!!
Fuckin cunt !
How cruel this dog was probably trying to get away from her because she was being missed treated by the owner. Thanks to the person that followed up on this.. Great Samaritan…
I WONDER HOW THIS BITCH WOULD HAVE FELT IF HER MOTHER THREW HER OUT OF THE CAR WHEN SHE WAS A BABY BECAUSE SHE GOT FRUSTRATED. DUMP THIS BITCH IN THE STREET AND LET A CAR RUN HER SORRY ASS OVER.
F*cking sick POS !!!
Of course, its Texas, and Janet Byas has once again proven there is a segment of the population in this state that has the brain power of a doorknob. To dump an innocent animal out onto a road is a prime example of the lack of humanity this bitch has – may there be some real punishment for her because Texas will give her none. Just take her damn minivan, ride it into the desert, hogtie this female maggot and leave her – let her figure out the rest. She deserves no less – I thank Vanessa who stepped up for this little dog, rescued Pumpkin and found Byas on video. She is a hero.
