Texas Governor Shoots, Kills Coyote Who Threatened Dog
AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry has a message for wily coyotes out there: Don't mess with my dog. Perry says he needed just one shot from his laser-sighted pistol to take down a coyote that was menacing his dog during an early morning jog in an undeveloped area near Austin. Perry told The Associated Press he sometimes carries his pistol, loaded with hollow-pointed bullets, when he jogs on trails because he's scared of snakes -- and that he'd seen coyotes in that area. When the coyote came out of the brush toward his daughter's labrador retriever puppy on a February jog, he charged it and shot it with his .380 Ruger pistol. "Don't attack my dog or you might get shot ... if you're a coyote," Perry said. From: governorrickperry Views: 11619 0 ratings Time: 00:44 More in News & Politics
