The dog walker, Rebecca McGroerty, was charged with child endangerment.\u00a0 Rebecca McGroerty was hired to walk a family\u2019s dog.\u00a0 While McGroerty was outside with the dog, the dog was to be kept on a leash and muzzled.<\/p>\n<p>Further, only employees and residents of the home were to be allowed inside the home where the dog was kept.\u00a0 McGroerty was not permitted to bring anyone inside the home, because the dog was afraid of children and could get aggressive with them.<\/p>\n<p>McGroerty let a four year-old girl, who was not a resident of the house, into the house.\u00a0 The terrier bit the young girl, inflicting serious dog bites in the girl&#8217;s legs. The 4 year-old girl received four stitches to mend the dog bites.
