Dog bite leads to lawsuit

Julie Dessauer is suing Kelly Sandor in the Cook County Circuit Court after she was apparently bit by Sandor's dog.

According to her complaint, filed Dec. 4, Dessauer was at the Spring Recreational Center's dog park in December 2011, when Sandor's unprovoked Rottweiler bit her arm.

Dessauer claims to have suffered disabling injuries, scars and medical expenses from the incident and seeks to hold Sandor liable.

She is seeking more than $50,000 and is being represented by attorney Mark A. Mordini.
