The Alpha Dog actress' fiance, Mark Nason told TMZ that Heather was petting their 7-month-old puppy, when their other pit bull "suddenly appeared to get jealous and growled."

The dogs then lunged at each and that's when the TV star's right hand and arm got caught in the middle of the violent attack.

According to her other half, Heather was "rushed to the hospital to treat gruesome injuries, including crushed bones in her hand, torn ligaments and other deep cuts throughout her arm."

The starlet was forced to undergo surgery on her arm, where surgeons inserted pins to miminize the damage done.

Heather now remains in hospital and faces nearly a year of physiotherapy to recover from the trauma.

Despite the terrifying incident, Heather's other half Mark has insisted that they have "every intention" to keep their dogs as they're "huge pit bull advocates."

The San Franciso native starred in 1994's Beverly Hills Cop III opposite Eddie Murphy.

She went on to have several guest roles in NYPD Blue, 2000's Charlie's Angels and Married With Children.
