Okay, you know Michelle Dee, the super poised actress and Miss Universe Philippines queen? Well, she just went through something wild and had me shook.
Over the weekend, she hopped on social media to share that her own dog bit her in the face! Yeah, I know, it’s crazy. She’s okay but used the moment to drop a serious warning to everyone:
“Never underestimate dog bites—even from your own pet.”
What Went Down?
Michelle got real on her Instagram Stories, showing off the marks on her face that are still healing. She didn’t spill all the details about how it happened, but she made it clear this bite came out of nowhere.

It’s such a reminder that even your furry bestie, who you trust with your whole heart, can have a moment and act on instinct.
“I’ve had dogs my whole life,” she wrote. “I’m obsessed with my pets. But this was a wake-up call to always stay careful, respectful, and clued in about how animals think.”
Fans Are Rallying Around Her
The love from fans and celebs has been pouring in. People are sending her so much support, and I’m honestly touched by how open she was about this.

One fan was like, “You’re so brave for sharing this!” Another wrote, “Get well soon, Queen!” with a bunch of 🙏 and 🐶 emojis. It’s just so sweet to see everyone rooting for her.
A Heads-Up for Pet Parents
Michelle’s story is a big reminder for anyone with a pet: even the chillest dogs can snap if they’re startled, hurting, or just overwhelmed. Here’s some real talk for all us pet lovers:
- Pay attention to your dog’s vibes—watch for signs they’re stressed or antsy.
- Make sure kids and visitors know how to approach your pup without freaking them out.
- Keep up with training and vet checkups to make sure your dog’s feeling good.
- Maybe skip the face-to-face snuggles if your pet seems off or tired.

What’s Next for Michelle?
Even after this scary moment, Michelle’s still her sunny self. She wrapped up her post by thanking her fans for all the love and doubling down on being a responsible pet owner.
