Nicole Robinson is facing legal action from a New York woman who alleges she was injured by the West Wing star's dog.

A babysitter has filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court alleging the German shepherd, named Floyd Von Meierhof, attacked and bit her while she was working for the actress. Robinson's husband Craig Snyder told the New York Daily News he had not yet seen the suit.

It's not the first time the pooch has been involved in a legal spat - Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony were sued by a flight attendant, housekeeper and personal assistant who all claimed to have been hurt by Floyd. The couple got rid of the dog in 2007 - when Robinson purchased Floyd for $35,000. (PAW/WNWCPS/LR)
