EMMA LONGSTREET, Respondent, v. NELSON PELTZ, Appellant.

Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, and the motion is granted.

The plaintiff, a nanny for the defendant's child, allegedly was injured when she was bitten by the defendant's dog. In support of his motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, the defendant made a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by demonstrating that the dog neither had "vicious propensities" nor "behave[d] in a manner that . . . reflects a proclivity to act in a way that puts others at risk of harm" ( Bard v Jahnke, 6 NY3d 592, 597 [internal quotation marks omitted]). In opposition, the plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact ( see Collier v Zambito, 1 NY3d 444; Vitrella v Rodrigues, 11 AD3d 287; Blackstone v Hay ward, 304 AD2d 941; Sers v Manasia, 280 AD2d 539, 540). Accordingly, the Supreme Court should have granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. In light of this determination, we need not address the issues raised in connection with the defendant's workers' compensation defense.
