Chicago Woman Smears Dog Poop on Trump-Themed Cybertruck, Sparks Viral Outcry

A visitor, John Evans, says his Tesla Cybertruck—wrapped with an American flag and featuring President Trump’s gold-leaf signature—was smeared with dog feces while parked in Chicago’s Northalsted neighborhood, and the truck’s onboard cameras captured the act. Evans posted stills and video to X, and internet users quickly identified the alleged perpetrator as Dorothy Owen, who is reportedly associated with Renegade Dog Services. The doggy daycare’s Instagram reportedly posted mocking captions and, according to one outlet, responded offensively to inquiries, prompting a wave of negative online reviews directed at the business. Evans declined to file a police report, saying public backlash was punishment enough and that police should focus on more serious crimes; authorities have not confirmed the woman’s identity or any charges. The episode has been widely reported and underscores how camera evidence and social-media sleuthing can fuel rapid public shaming amid heightened political polarization.
