A woman with 20 prior busts was nabbed for biting her pet pit bull in a vicious and bizarre Upper East Side attack – heartlessly telling cops, “That’s what I do, I bite my dog,” prosecutors and sources said.
Jilian Teixeria, 24, allegedly grabbed the brown female dog by the ears and chomped down on her head around 6:15 p.m. Saturday on East 86th Street near Lexington Avenue, according to a complaint filed in Manhattan Criminal Court.
The cruel attack caused the poor pup to yelp and screech loudly – and bleed from her head and ears, prosecutors said.
When cops arrived, Teixeria admitted to biting her dog, but offered a wild defense, Assistant District Attorney William Eddy said during Teixeria’s Monday arraignment.
“That’s what I do. I bite my dog,” Teixeria said, according to the ADA.
“What would you prefer me to do? Hit her? She’s bleeding because she has eczema.”
