Patricia Avila and her sister Maria were said to be cleaning Brown's house on December 12 when the attack occurred, according to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. Patricia claimed that Brown failed to protect her and her sister from the unreasonable risk of harm from the dog, TMZ reported.

The dogs were normally kept in another part of the house away from and out of sight of the women. According to the report, Maria went to the backyard to empty the vacuum cleaner and one of the dogs, a Caucasian shepherd, growled at her and then "proceeded to viciously attack."
