Lorraine Thompson yesterday told the court she had been visiting a friend, Lindsay, at Hampton Wood Rd, Hampton Wood, Finglas, Dublin, in June 2011, when the accident happened.
Ms Thompson said she had been walking to her car with her friend when the dog, a Great Dane, jumped in front of them and attacked her. She claimed the dog grabbed her right arm between its jaws and bit down on it.
