A 51-year-old Glastonbury woman who was bitten in the face by a friend’s dog after she went to pet it has secured $364,094 in arbitration. The dog had bitten three other people before it attacked Kristin Granato, and was put down soon after the incident, according to Larry Adler, attorney for Granato.

Granato needed 26 stitches to her face, after the 35-pound Portuguese water dog attacked her as she entered her friend’s home to pick up her daughter from a play date, according to Adler, a partner with the East Hartford-based Adler Law Group. The incident occurred in Glastonbury in June 2014. A lawsuit was filed in Hartford Superior Court in April 2016.
