Brittany Furlan, Tommy Lee’s wife, said their beloved dog Neena “is safe” after a coyote attack in the backyard of their Woodland Hills, California, home.
The 38-year-old comedian, who has been married to the 61-year-old Mötley Crüe rocker since 2019, posted security footage on Instagram on Tuesday of the terrifying incident, which saw a coyote drag their dog away before she rescued him off-camera.
“I climbed up on the wall and got her out of his mouth,” Furlan said. “Luckily she’s a little fat because he couldn’t get over the wall with her.”
“If it had been a teenie, she would have been gone. This is in broad daylight at 1:00 p.m.”
Furlan said local coyotes are “getting bolder and hungrier” and she “won’t even let the dogs out.”

Furlan added: ‘Please be careful… this is ridiculous. Hug your babies extra tight.’
Furlan told TMZ that the dog suffered no injuries in the incident, as the coyote appeared to grab her fur.

Furlan wrote in the Instagram post: ‘Trigger warning: I was taking the dogs out to pee and I was watching them when a coyote came and grabbed Nene in the middle of the day.’
She advised her followers: ‘Be very careful with your dogs.’
Furlan said the incident was the first time they’ve encountered a coyote at the enclosure in four years, adding that the coyotes are “desperate.”
According to KTLAthe presence of coyotes on the west side of the San Fernando Valley, where the famous couple lives, “are an everyday sight.”
Coyotes rarely attack humans but often target small canids, the station reported.
Furlan said the incident was the first time they had an encounter with a coyote in the home in four years.
