Once the investigation is complete then the case will be presented to the district attorney and it is up to the court to decide if the owner will lose the dog or if the dog will be euthanized.

Ronson took to her Twitter account on Monday to express her extreme sadness at what happened:

The dog that died has been identified as a two-year-old Maltese terrier named Tiger, who can be seen in photos at a recent 'Pattern for Paws' charity event.

It is thought that Ronson was sleeping while a friend of hers allowed Cadillac to leave her apartment and that is when it came across Tiger and his owner in the hallway.

Britain's Daily Mail reports that Ronson's bulldog has previously bit another dog in the building and was sent away to a dog-camp for three weeks. He had only been back for five days before the attack happened.
