Tommy Lee's Wife Rescues Dog From Coyote

"The wife of Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee rescued one of their dogs from a coyote attack in their backyard, a frightening video shows."

We have a number of predators in AZ that are dangerous to dogs. The main concerns I see are: coyotes, bobcats, large birds (hawks and owls), the occasional mountain lion, and wolves. People are warned all the time, and yet many don't take precautions. We have other animals that are also hazards: rattlesnakes, javelin, and bees. These are also extremely dangerous.

Wherever you live, you should assess the wildlife hazards in your area, and know how to prevent or them drive off. Here's my homework for you. Let's say you live in AZ, take each of the above and describe how you would LEGALLY deter each, and what you would do if your dog was being attacked, both at home and away from home:

1. coyote, 

2. bobcats, 

3. large birds (hawks and owls), 

4.) the occasional mountain lion, 

5.) wolf (individual or pack), 

6.) rattlesnake, 

7.) javelina,

8.) bees
