Elliott's neighbor is reportedly seeking over $1 million in damages after she was allegedly attacked by one of the Cowboys player's dogs.

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is reportedly being sued over another alleged dog attack, according to TMZ.

Elliott's DFW neighbor, a woman named Jennifer Gampper, is reportedly seeking over $1 million in damages after she was allegedly attacked by one of Elliott's dogs last May.

The incident occurred on May 21, and coincides with Elliott being issued citations after his dogs got loose. It is alleged that one of Elliott's dogs bit two people while it was loose, and that those two people required hospitalization for their injuries, which were non-life-threatening.

The lawsuit alleges that Elliott's dogs got loose while a landscaping company, which Gampper is also suing, was doing work in Elliott's yard.

WOW I wonder if my neighbors would even try to sue me, let alone for $1M, if my dog bit them.

I am a dog lover and have rescued several, but dogs that bite people or kill other animals need to be caged or put down. There is no sense in waiting until the dog kills or severely injures a child.

If it is discovered to be neglect on Zeke's part I doubt the insurance company will shell out a single dollar. Zeke should consider getting a cat or a fish bowl. Unless he doesn't care that his neighbors keep getting attacked.
Neglect by the homeowner is exactly what the liability coverage of the homeowners policy is for.

Texas is not a strict liability state for dog attacks though, so it will be interesting how this goes. My wife got bit by a dog 2 years ago and a lawyer wouldn’t even take the case.

Just to clear up my poor dog's name - he's never bit anybody & he's had neighborhood kids get stupid around him plenty. He will get an ugly cruel bark when a stranger comes knocking & only my wife is home, but as soon as she says it's OK his tail starts waggin.

Mine is half Lab and half Pit looks like a lab on steroids I guess I could be sued if he licked someone's face off

I find your comment ridiculous. There's no such thing as a dog who just bites people. That is a behavior taught by the owner. Keep scumbags away from owning dogs would be my solution.
