New 'DWTS' Competitor Accused of Canine Attack

Ashley HamiltonRemember that dude who married Shannen Doherty back in 1993? Yeah, we didn't either until actor Ashley Hamilton's dog allegedly mauled somebody in Los Angeles.

A guy named Michael Cohen is suing the upcoming "Dancing with the Stars" contestant for acting "negligently, carelessly and recklessly" when Hamilton's American Staffordshire Terrier (similar to a "Pit Bull") allegedly bit Cohen's dog "Sabra" in L.A.'s Runyon Canyon a few months ago.

Cohen says he cradled his wounded pooch in his arms when Hamilton's dog -- who was allegedly "roaming freely" at the time -- bit Cohen on his hand and wrist.

According to the docs, Cohen tried to make a run for it, but tripped over a rock in the process, injuring himself further ... not that we find that kinda/sorta funny or anything.

Cradling a dog in the park? Sounds like an obnoxious little dog and their wierdo owner.

American Staffordshire Terrier's ARE pit bulls....AmStaff is the breed recognized by the AKC. "Pitbull" is a 'street name' that comes from the fact that they are fought in pits, and tough as bulls. Once again, TMZ always has their sh** together.

DDD, you are incorrect. AmStaffs are similar to pitbulls but there is a breed called AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER which is the actual Pit Bull.

You can get your picture taken with Shannon for $50 and her autograph for $25.
I think she would prefer her clothes on for the pic.
Good times.
