A family is suing Disneyland, claiming their toddler was mauled by a dog at the park’s petting zoo.

The suit filed Tuesday in Orange County Superior Court in Santa Ana, Calif., says the German shepherd-Labrador mix attacked two-year-old Lena Dickerson during a visit in 2006.

It says she was bitten several times on the face in an attack that left her permanently scarred.

The suit said the six-year-old dog was adopted from a local shelter by a Disneyland employee and brought to the theme park two weeks before the attack.

It claims the shelter described the dog as “not very social” and said it had a history of aggression.

Disney officials declined comment, saying they do not discuss pending litigation.
