Comedian, podcaster, and wife of Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, Brittany Furlan Lee, is going viral for saving the couple’s dog from a coyote attack near the pool of their Los Angeles home. Furlan shared Ring surveillance cam footage of a coyote snatching up the couple’s dachshund, Neena, after which Furlan runs screaming after the coyote and manages to rescue her dog before Lee even comes out to see what happens. Thankfully, the dog seems to be just fine now.
The video was posted to Furlan’s Instagram. “Neena is safe,” Furlan writes in the post. “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. 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.”
In her Instagram story, Brittany Furlan gave an update, writing, “I AM TRAUMATIZED FROM THE EXPERIENCE YESTERDAY but am grateful to have my girl still. Many people have told me they have not been so lucky. I am shocked to hear they are pulling dogs off of their leashes, and packs of them are even killing larger dogs. It seems nothing is safe. I fear for small children, as they don’t seem scared of us. I hope [Gavin Newsom] can propose a plan to trap and relocate them away from suburbia.”
