>> abc seven news reporter luz pena has been following this story. she's here with an update. the video was just stunning to everyone who saw it. it was incredible. >> i mean, it's just shocking to see them leave. and this is one of at least 800 dog bites incidents that take place in san francisco every year. sfpd confirmed they made contact with the dog owners and cited them for leaving without offering any information. but the victim's family feels this story is far from over. almost three weeks since the attack, police confirmed the dog owners who left the scene after their dog attacked this four year old boy have been found. >> i'm just grateful that we had media's help. we had abc news to apply some pressure, otherwise i don't think things would have happened. i don't think we would have been able to track down the owner. >> the boy's mom, who wants to keep their identity private, said an sfpd officer confirmed the couple had been cited a day after our story in a statement, sfpd said their vicious and dangerous dog unit is investigating the case and said
4:01 pm
the owners were cited by animal care and control for failure to provide information after a dog bite and failure to report a dog bite to the department of animal care and control. >> i realize this is only the first step. what happens after what we learned from the police officer is the city is going to schedule a hearing for the dog. >> this unit is part of sfpd. at the hearing, an officer will hear both sides and decide the dog's fate. >> for example, if she orders a dog declared vicious and dangerous and has to be registered, we would do the registering thing. we make sure that the dog owner comes into compliance. the hearing officer does have the power to order a dog euthanized. that's that's the most drastic outcome. >> the san francisco animal care and control confirmed the city's process is focused on the dog's future, not necessarily the dog owners. >> there's nothing happening to the owners, and if we want to hold the owners accountable, we
4:02 pm
have to file separately through the civil court, which could be time consuming and probably have a financial impact. so a lot of people shy away from that, and, and when it comes to consequences, according to city records, a citations for a dog owner is about $91. >> that's less than some parking tickets. and jail time is. it's not possible in many cases, only the extreme ones. the hearing in this case is set to happen in the coming weeks. >> and you'll follow that i know. yes, definitely. >> thanks, lucy. >> okay, well, cal fire acted quickly this afternoon to slow the spread of three fires east of petaluma. this tower camera video, recorded around 245, shows smoke pouring from planes in the hills along old adobe road. you can see traffic passing through this cloud of smoke sky. seven shows us the view from above. about 45 minutes later, you can see the charred grass along old adobe road, which appears to have acted as a firebreak. the flames did not jump the road. cal fire has stopped the growth of this fire at about two acres nearby, santa rosa fire declared today

4:04 pm
show you those temperatures for your tuesday and let you know how long this hot weather will last for our inland communities coming right up, dan. >> okay, sandy, thanks a lot. we'll touch base again in a couple of moments. san francisco police are blaming weekend sideshows on both sides of the bay on the same group of, quote, 200 rogue vehicles video from oakland early yesterday morning, right in front of the grand lake theater. you can see one car nearly hitting some bystanders. police say the same group drove into san francisco, engaging in a series of sideshows around the city. this video shows a driver spinning donuts along the embarcadero as another car burned at each location around the city, officers gathered evidence, developed a plan, and ultimately flushed the vehicles out of the locations. >> this is our primary focus during the events to ensure public safety. >> chief scott says officers were able to impound several
4:05 pm
vehicles and investigators will be working to make arrests and impound additional vehicles in the coming days. and weeks. >> now we turn to the future of the bay bridge. we are getting a first look at what the bridge could look like when tollbooths are finally removed. just this morning, a crash into the tollbooth impacted the commute, leaving east bay drivers heading into the city facing long delays. so we wanted to know how future changes might help alleviate that challenge. abc seven news anchor amanda delcastillo has new details about the toll booth removal project. video taken shortly after the crash shows that car wedged between two toll booths. we also saw one person taken away from the scene on a stretcher. no word yet on that person's condition. caltrans crews had to work quickly to reopen lanes six through nine, as the toll plaza started to get crowded with drivers. the incident brought up questions about the long planned removal of the toll booths. here is a look at renderings of what the bay bridge might look like after the eventual demolition. caltrans previously announced it
4:06 pm
was delaying the removal of the toll booths until february 2026, saying it wants to upgrade the automatic toll collection system and remove the booths at the same time, the metropolitan transportation commission, bay area toll authority says the bay bridge will be the final location of toll booth removal as it is the most complex. a spokesperson then addressed how the change might impact our behavior behind the wheel. >> it is a tight squeeze and it's signed for slowing to 25 miles an hour. now, the upside of all of this is that when this transition to open road tolling is complete, there will no longer be any toll booths, no longer any need to slow down, to squeeze through that narrow opening booths will be taken down at every state owned toll bridge, and replaced with that open road tolling beyond this morning's crash in 2017, a bay bridge toll worker was killed after a drunk driver crashed into the booth. >> i'm amanda delcastillo, abc

4:09 pm
here. the ponds hold the extra water supply and even help recharge groundwater. >> without this uh, we'd be really hard pressed to pump enough water to serve the public. >> sonoma water relies solely on its own watershed for drinking water, so what we get here in terms of precipitation is all we get for now. the area is in good shape. lake sonoma and lake mendocino are full this year. >> we are very, very happy with the amount of water that we have. both our reservoirs are very much topped off, but this water agency knows supply may change in the future, so they urge every customer to be water wise, especially in natural resource use. it's not something you want to take. you want to, you know, take for granted. >> meantime, this dam doing its part to provide enough water to a thirsty north bay in sonoma county. cornell bernard abc seven news. >> coming up, the show must go on. the pittsburgh theater company needs your help to keep

a more veteran staff of players on their team this time around. >> that's a good point. and you know, she may elevate the publicity for it, but hopefully it's translating anyway into more people are watching. >> and i think, like chris said, there's two things. you're right. she's still young and unproven in the league. she has time to play on the olympic team. but from a ratings standpoint, that may have been a missed opportunity. all right, body cameras commonly worn by police officers may be coming to a store near you. some workers are now wearing body cameras and major stores. the parent company of t.j. maxx, marshalls and homegoods, says it's equipping some store employees with body cameras in an effort to thwart shoplifting and keep customers and employees safe. other stores could soon do the same thing in a survey by the national retail federation last year, 35% of u.s. retailers say they were researching body cameras for their employees. let's start with you, sandhya. you know, it obviously has some benefits, but that would mean all of us, as we check out, would then be on camera. what do you think about that? >> yeah, i mean, that's a little odd, dan, but i think that for the greater good, which is safety of everyone, not just helping the bottom line with companies, stores and whatnot,
4:42 pm
but just in general, if people are going into shop and there are people trying to shoplift and there's a scuffle of some sort, i mean, this could be obviously very helpful in a situation like that. >> chris, i feel good that they'll be watching you very closely. >> i just think you just get more security flat out. you get him outside the door, you put him in a couple of different places. i think that would be maybe a little more beneficial than having i. that's where i would put my money. i guess i would say if you're going to put the money on cameras, you might as well just get paid. professionals that are security guards and put them in different places to try and deter it from the from them. even entering or at least seeing it. you got to. they all know there's cameras around in the building, so let's just put more physical security in these in these stores. yeah. because it's great. >> but then are they going to prosecute. it has to actually be a deterrent. did they steal enough in order for them to, you know, go through the process? >> sometimes it seems like cameras instinctively you think they are a deterrent, but people ignore them all the time because cameras are everywhere. >> yeah, we're all being watched. all right, well, want to live a longer life and help save the environment? eat
4:43 pm
plants. a study published today in the american journal of clinical nutrition says people who closely follow a diet of mostly fruits, vegetables and whole grains can reduce the risk of premature death by nearly a third. it's called a planet friendly diet because, researchers say, can also cut greenhouse gas emissions by 29. the study analyzed dietary data from more than 200,000 people. sandhya you're already a step ahead of all of us. >> i am so it's easy for you. >> i've been a vegetarian my entire life, and i feel like it's, you know, just better for our bodies to be able to digest better for the environment. kind of a better for everything. right so i'm not opposed to people eating meat. it's just i was raised a vegetarian and i think it's a lot healthier options. >> chris, could you do it? >> i'm a smoothie master in the morning, so i've got my fruits and already getting my day going. so i do like meat though. i definitely will eat some meat. but i do try to eat my veggies and try and balance it. and you know what? i have a little sweet tooth too. so yeah, i'm not perfect in common. >> no, that's right. but you
4:44 pm
know, if you eat a balanced diet, even if it includes meat and sweets, occasionally, but lots of fruits and vegetables, that's probably helpful anyway. well add a new combo to the list of wild food pairings that will probably make you cringe. >> make sure it's a good bite for everybody. look at that. cheers ooh! >> oh, you know, kit-kats and ketchup. it's apparently catching on the official kit kat instagram account posted a video of employees testing the combo for themselves with mixed reviews. these are some of the comments from viewers. one person wrote. the fact that this is coming from the official kit kat page scares me. another said the combo is surprisingly good, while another who wasn't a fan wrote just three words. jail now . >> goodbye. people also got ridiculed for the way they were eating it because they didn't snap the pieces apart, right? right, right. >> they just took a bite. it's criminal. >> yeah, only an animal would you have to break them apart. >> come on, be civilized. >> i don't know, sandy. i know you don't eat meat, but would you eat that? >> no. >> i mean, i love kit kat, but i would not put it with ketchup.
4:45 pm
dan. i mean, that just looks so gross. >> yeah, it does a little bit. chris. mustard break dan hahahahaha yeah, i don't know people. some people really like that. that combination of salty or spicy and sweet, i don't know, i'd take a, you know, i'd take a little bite to try it just because i can't see that i would like it. >> but but i love ketchup on hot dogs and hamburgers, but i don't put i don't use ketchup with french fries. >> i don't like it on french fries. interesting. and i for sure not a kit kat bar. >> yeah, yeah. all right. >> that's
