BEDFORD, N.Y., Jan. 14 (UPI) -- U.S. media mogul Martha Stewart says she received stitches in her lip after her startled French bulldog Francesca head-butted her.

Stewart said the mishap happened as she was leaving her Bedford, N.Y., home to go to work in Manhattan.

"As I leaned down to whisper goodbye to a dozing Francesca, I must have startled her, because she bolted upright with such force that she hit me in the face like a boxing glove hitting an opponent's face," the New York Daily News reported Stewart wrote on her blog Wednesday.

"I was entirely startled and my neck snapped back. I felt a bit of whiplash as blood gushed forth from my split lip. Frannie was as upset as I was and cowered in her bed."
