Caught on camera: loose dog charges woman with stroller, tips it over

A large black-and-white dog that appeared to be off its leash charged a woman pushing a stroller through a gate, and the stroller tipped over as she lifted a small child out of it, security-camera footage shows.

The Injury Firm, a personal injury law firm with offices in Anaheim Hills and Irvine, posted the clip Sept. 1, 2026, in a collaboration with Juice Unlocked and four other regional news pages. The post does not say where or when the incident happened, who was involved or whether anyone was hurt. Juice Unlocked has not independently confirmed those details.

What the footage shows

The clip appears to be a phone recording of a security monitor. The woman walks a small leashed dog and pushes a stroller through a gate. A bigger dog runs in from off-camera and jumps at the stroller, which goes over.

The woman holds the child close as the dog circles and jumps near her, and a man hurries to the gate. The clip ends with the stroller back on its wheels. It does not show whether anyone was bitten.

What California law says

California Civil Code Section 3342 makes a dog's owner liable when the dog bites someone in a public place or someone lawfully on private property, "regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner's knowledge of such viciousness," according to the statute text quoted by Shouse California Law Group. The law is written around bites; Shouse notes other routes to recovery, such as showing the owner was negligent.

The Injury Firm lists dog bites among its practice areas. It advises people who are bitten to get medical care, photograph their injuries and the dog, and report the bite to local animal control within 24 hours.
