MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee narrowly avoided a tragedy when his dog, Neena, was almost snatched by a coyote near his Los Angeles home.
Ring security footage captured the terrifying incident, showing the coyote grabbing the 10-year-old dachshund and fleeing. Lee‘s wife, Brittany Furlan, screamed and chased after the coyote, while Lee rushed outside to investigate. Luckily, Furlan managed to rescue Neena.
“Neena is safe. I climbed up the wall and grabbed her out of its mouth. Thank God she’s a little bit fat because he couldn’t make it over the wall with her,” Furlan captioned the clip.
“If it was teenie she would’ve been gone. This is in Broad daylight at 1 PM. They are getting more brazen and hungry. Please be safe. I’m not even letting the dogs out anymore. This is ridiculous. Hug your babies extra tight.
“Trigger warning: I was letting the dogs out to pee and I was watching them and a coyote came and grabbed Neena in broad daylight,” Furlan wrote in text shared before the video.
“Please be very careful with your dogs. I’ve lived here for four years and I’ve never seen one coyote and then today this happened. They are desperate,” Furlan added in the text.
In a later interview with NBC Los Angeles, Furlan explained that she felt compelled to speak out because she believes it’s “such an important message” regarding pet safety in Southern California. You can watch that interview below.
