Jennifer Lopez sued for dog bite

A flight attendant for a private airline says Jennifer Lopez's guard dog bit her pants leg during a flight, causing the attendant to fall and injure her back so badly it required surgery.

Lisa Wilson, 40, claims that because of the injury she can no longer work.

Wilson has filed a lawsuit in Brooklyn Federal Court, seeking $5 million from the singer/actress, the (New York) Daily News reports.

Wilson worked for NetJets, a private airline company that assigned her to work a flight taking J.Lo from Long Island to Burbank on July, 3, 2006.

Wilson says Lopez boarded the Gulfstream IV jet with Floyd, a German shepherd described in the manifest as "a well-behaved guard dog." Wilson says Lopez gave her instructions on how to act around Floyd. Ninety minutes into the flight, Wilson was walking past Floyd, when he lunged at her and bit her pants leg. In an attempt to get away, Wilson says she "twisted and fell," injuring her lower back

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
