Housekeeper slams Helmsley's dog

Thursday, August 30, 2007

Leona Helmsley's former housekeeper is slamming the doggie dearest that got $12 million in her will.

Zamfira Sfara said she had a lot of trouble with the dog, named Trouble, Helmsley's 8-year-old Maltese.

She alleges Trouble bit her many times and attacked bodyguards, security and even hotel customers.

Sfara is appealing legal action for a dog bite she said left permanent nerve damage in her right hand.

Helmsley disinherited two of her grandchildren while Trouble snagged the largest trust from a $4 billion fortune.

Helmsely died last week, she was age 87.
