A pit bull registered to Serena Williams allegedly bit a security guard outside her home last week.
Williams told police she didn't own the dog, but was watching it for a friend, a Palm Beach Gardens Police incident report said.
The dog, a 5-year-old tan pit bull, is registered to Williams, Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control assistant director Dennis Yeskey told
The Palm Beach Post.
Williams' Web site shows two photographs of her tan pit bull named Bambi.
A spokeswoman for Williams declined to comment.
Bambi and a white Maltese were roaming around a guardhouse near her home Friday night, when the pit bull nipped at the guard's buttocks. The
guard was not injured because his wallet blocked the dog's bite, the incident report said.
The guard traced the dogs back to Williams' home using a phone number listed on the Maltese's dog tag. She later told police the dogs got loose
after she let them out and that she owned the Maltese, but not the pit bull, the report said.
Animal Care and Control did not have any records of Williams owning a Maltese.
