The most vicious member of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's entourage just might be Floyd -- their German Shepherd.
See J-Lo schnarf a hot dog -- and other celebs indulging their naughty appetites!
The military-bred "personal protection dog" is accused of attacking a flight attendant on a private Gulfstream IV jet in 2006, a new lawsuit charges. In court documents obtained by New York's Daily News, an animal behavior expert blames the star couple for not sending Floyd to counseling.
Flight attendant Lisa Wilson claims that the pooch "growled and lunged at her," and "headbutted her leg and she fell and seriously injured her back." What triggered Floyd's attack? She was carrying silverware; her lawyers argue that Anthony and Lopez knew that "sharp objects" tend to anger Floyd, and that they should have taken precautions.

Also suspect: Anthony had instructed Wilson "not to make eye contact with the dog and to call Floyd by his name if she needed to pass."
"It is clear to me that Floyd . . . behaved inappropriately, aggressively and in a manner that consistently endangered humans," veterinarian Dr. Karen Overall says in an eight-page report.

Adds Wilson's lawyer: "The dog was obviously dangerous . . . and it was only a matter of time before he hurt someone."
Tell Us What You Think
25jay.. you should be exterminated. just because u were attacked by a dog doesnt mean you should hate all dogs. and not all dogs are dirty thank you very much, i have a lhasa apso who happens to be very intelligent, great with kids.. oh and she gets a bath almost every week. i bet she's cleaner than you
This woman is just looking to get paid. If the dog wanted to hurt her he would have. I have a German Shepherd and they are not born killers they are amazing family dogs and are highly intelligent and very loving!!!!!!
marc so teeny since jlo uses up all of his man gravy
The woman must have done something else to get the dogs attention, shepards don't usually attack unless provocked. Is she still working because of this so called back injury. She's looking for money!!!!!!!!
Jay I am sorry you were attacked but to label all dogs as dangerous is so ignorant it takes my breath away. You need some help with your animal issues
No dog is a born killer i have trained dogs for over 25 years.,if the dog was so much of a killer why didn't he bite her, Just another greedy morally bankrupt person going after a celebrities money -- that's the botem line.
No they are not killers..it depends on how they are trained, and if so..males are the ones that need to be watched..they can be very territorial and protective..and the chick was warned..hello! hide the sharp objects..duh..
and um..why if this occured in 2006..why is the money hungry stewardess trying to sue now?..and this animal expert may know pups..right...but he hasnt actually met them..so he has NOOO idea how this dog would act...sounds like the woman was trying to make the dog attack her
No shepherds are not killers..it depends on how they are trained..just like any other dogs..and the males are the ones u need to watch for..they are very territorial....
Good Point bobo!!!!!!
German Shepherds are killers! I watched one kill a Collie in seconds and when I called him he gave me the look that I was next.
How did the dog attack her if he never even bit her? LAME. Toss this b*&%^ch a few grand, whatever.
Jessica is right, not all dogs are violent. It also doesn’t matter how old the case is. This should serve as an example to dog owners everywhere (and potential owners as well). Understand your dog, and keep that dog under control. I have owned dogs for years, am a vet tech and recognized dog expert. Rarely have I seen a situation when a domesticated dog “committed” an offense that the owner could not have prevented. I don't care how rich and famous they are - dog owners have no place bringing a "trained protection dog" around other people unless they can control that dog. Clearly, the couple did not need protection against a flight attendant with silverware, c'mon people! The dog growled as a warning - he was doing his job. It was at that moment that the owners should have been able to pull back on the dog and give a command to cease. Instead, the dog just continued to do what it was trained to do. This is just another example of irresponsible dog owners giving dogs a bad rap. I firmly believe that there are no bad dogs, just bad owners. I have seen the most vicious dogs rehabilitated with proper training and attention. That being said, they are still animals. It is up to their handlers to keep them from harming others. If you can’t handle that, then don’t get a dog.
Jay, not all dogs are violent. Maybe you should move.
Marc Anthony is so teeny.
The idiots that kill small children need to be as well trained as that dog.It has been trained to use just enough force to protect but not do sever injury. If it felt it was necessary it would have gone for the neck. It will be difficult to prove any current back pain is from that fall. sounds like a momey grab to me. Maybe the dog needs to protect her again.
This happned in 2006. We're in 2009 now, so why is it so important to report upon THREE years later? They say it's a personal protection dog. Well, it might have thought this woman was carrying the silverware to hurt someone and attacked. If it's angered by silverware, why bring it by him to begin with?
Dogs are violent, I was attacked by 2 from BEHIND, never heard them coming when I was 11 walking home from school, in a normal house filled neighborhood. A neighbor heard me screaming, ran out with a broom and tried to beat them off me, one went after him. Another neighbor came out with a gun and luckily shot and killed one, the other took off. I was bitten many times over, scratched up, clothes torn, so was the guy with the broom. Big or small dogs are violent, relatives all had them, someone was always getting bit, people in NYC won't pick up the dog poop, won't keep them on leashes, dog piss all over the sidewalks, my apt. building sounds and smells like a dog kennel. Fleas everywhere, drool. It's filthy and disgusting. Need companionship, get a human friend or a hamster,or fish, something that won't hurt or bother other people. I hope that stewardress gets a huge settlement and that dog is put down. Wish all of them would be exterminated, if you'd been through and around them like I have been, you would think this too.
10 year old news while Jennifer's paper mache house for Women In Need's Home For The Holiday's Auction has been snuffed completely. Who needs the white-supremacist gangs when we have the US press doing its dirty work on minorities, and now women.
people like them should not be allowed to own an animal. why is that dog afraid of sharp objects? that's a first for me. some idiots seem to think that you have to scream and hit a dog. this does not teach them sh$! what it does do is make the dog afraid of you. he no longer does things to please you, he does what he is told because he is afraid of you. idiots. that is why I like animals a hell of alot more than most humans I know
