close call.

last week there was a Lady in my community travelling in her car when something ran out in front of her and she hit it. She immediately stop the car and got out and saw what she thought was a dog laying there. She opened the car door and pick the animal up and placed it in the back seat and proceeded to take it to the vet. When she arrived she went inside and waited to speak to the veterinarian. About 30 min past when they both went to the car to check on the animal and what they saw shocked both of them. The animal had came to and was destroying the inside of her car. The vet said omg that's a coyote. They manage to get a needle in it and put it down. If it would of regained consciousness while she was driving it would of tore her apart one lucky woman....

Wow! Me personally would have called 911 rather than take any animal into my car.

OMG Fisher...what a horror story. I never would have put the animal in my car. I, like Ducky, would have called the police or animal control.

I've had wild animals in my house if you count squirrels...they are nasty & will rip apart anything to get back outside...we were lucky, hired a trapper who got them out. The only time I would take a live animal would be a LOBSTER lol

She's lucky. Coyotes ain't to be trifled with. My drunk uncle hit a skunk with his car once. This is one of those true drunken Dan stories. He got out and looked over the skunk. It appeared in good condition, had full pretty fur and markings and didn't stink much. So, uncle Dan decided he'd make a fur cap out of it's hide. He threw it in his trunk.

Well, on arriving at his bar hangout, he heard a ruckus coming from the trunk. Opening the trunk lid, he got a full blast from a very pi$$ed off skunk, who had only been knocked out for awhile.

Uncle Dan made his way into the bar, causing the patrons to retreat to the far end coughing and gagging and the bartender to grab a fire extinguisher and turn it on uncle Dan until he retreated back out the door. The skunk was never seen again.

Every time I meet people that knew him, I hear more tales of his drunken exploits. What a family.

She probable didn't care after seeing the damage to the inside of her car.

I'm glad the coyote didn't come to while the woman was driving it to the vet. Coyotes do look like dogs and that woman probably thought it was just a dog.

It is dangerous to put any animal in the car as you really have no real way of knowing whether it's docile or wild.
