Dog bites man. Man sues Mary Kay. Here's your frivolous lawsuit of the week!

From WVRecord:

A cosmetics giant and one if its saleswomen from Michigan are named as co-defendants in a lawsuit filed by a Wood County man who alleges he was bitten by one of the woman's dogs while servicing her disabled rental vehicle.

Chaad E. Moore filed suit against Devon Bossory and Mary Kay Inc. in Jackson Circuit Court on June 26. In his complaint, Moore, 34, a Vienna resident, alleges that Bossory, a Mary Kay independent beauty consultant, failed to restrain her dog when he was called to service her U-Haul truck the month before.

According to court records, Moore was dispatched on May 11 to the Marathon station off the Silverton/Ravenswood exit along Interstate 77 to assist Bossory, 27, with getting the U-Haul truck back on the road. The truck apparently developed a flat tire as Moore is an employee of S&S Tire.

Before performing any work on the truck, Moore entered it to set the emergency brake. When he did, Moore alleges a dog belonging to Bossory attacked him.

After exiting the truck, Moore alleges the dog continued to attack him, and eventually bit him. Records show that the dog's attack was "in such a vicious and brutal manner" that it caused him injuries "which are permanent in nature."

In his suit, Moore alleges that the incident occurred while in the "course and scope" of Bossory's employment with Mary Kay. Because of that, Moore maintains that the Dallas, Texas-based cosmetics retailer should be held jointly and severally liable for Bossory failing to restrain her dog.
