From E!Online:

One flight attendant isn’t after the hair of the dog that bit her—she’s after its owner.

Lisa Wilson has filed a $5 million lawsuit against Jennifer Lopez, alleging that the entertainer’s German shepherd guard dog made the skies particularly unfriendly during a 2006 private flight by “attacking [Wilson] and biting her pant leg.”

The suit, filed Thursday in Brooklyn Federal Court and obtained by E! News, alleges the attack caused her to fall and suffer back injuries that have prevented her from obtaining further work. (View the allegations and full complaint.)

Per the suit, on July 3, 2006, the private company NetJet provided a flight for Lopez & Co. from Long Island to Burbank. Wilson was employed as a flight attendant for NetJet.

At the outset, Wilson says in her suit, Floyd, the German shepherd, appeared to be “a well behaved guard dog,” but that Lopez insisted on giving Wilson warnings about how to behave around the animal in flight.

Cut to 90 minutes later, when Wilson walked down the cabin aisle and Floyd “lunged” at her. Wilson “twisted and fell” as a result, “injuring her lower back” in the process, per court docs.
