Texas college student loses parts of her face in vicious attack by two dogs


A Texas college student was left “permanently and catastrophically disfigured” during a “bloodthirsty” attack by two dogs that tore off and ate parts of her head and face when she showed up to walk them, according to a lawsuit.

Jacqueline Claire Durand, a 22-year-old student at the University of Texas at Dallas who worked as a dog sitter, said she planned to walk Lucy, a German shepherd mix-breed, and Bender, a pit bull mix-breed, on Dec. 23.

When she showed up that day at the Coppell home of Ashley Bishop and Dr. Justin Bishop, the dogs’ owners, and “opened the front door — without provocation — the Dogs, who the Bishops had left out of their kennels, pushed the door open and brutally attacked Jaqueline,” the lawsuit states.

“The Dogs knocked Jacqueline off balance, causing her to fall and drop her cell phone,” according to the suit. “Then, the Dogs violently attacked her head and face — mauling her catastrophically.”
