Famous Dog Fetches Another Lawsuit

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's former canine guard (full name: Floyd vom Meierhoff) has been a bad doggie—which was the reason why he was kicked to the curb by the performers in the first place. When they let him go—because they were sued after he attacked a flight attendant, housekeeper and an assistant—he found new owners in actress Nicole Robinson, her husband and their 4-year-old daughter. But it seems you can't teach and old dog new tricks, because now they are being sued after Floyd attacked the babysitter! Ruh roh.

According to the Daily News, 31-year-old Manhattanite Lisa Cimino filed suit against the family this weekend; her lawyer says, "There was no provocation and the dog attacked her, biting her on both arms. Her shirt was covered with blood." Cimino claims their little girl told her, "Floyd would never bite me. He only bites the house workers." Floyd did undergo intensive military-style training in Germany prior to all of this—but Robinson has defended him in the past, saying, "he's the biggest, sweetest baby."
