Actor Patrick Swayze was stunned when Sharon Osbourne's dog bit him when he appeared as a guest on her British chat show yesterday.

The Dirty Dancing star was wary of Pomeranian pooch Minnie as soon as he sat down on Osbourne's sofa, and his fears were quickly realized.

He said upon his arrival, "Hello Minnie, you're looking as though you might bite my head off," to which Osbourne replied, "No, she's lovely, a lovely little dog."

But to Osbourne's horror, the dog then pounced on Swayze, who yelled, "You don't mess with Minnie!"
