Coyote Eats Jessica Simpson's Pooch

Calabasas has coyotes.

Coyotes eat small dogs wandering outside.

These two facts combined badly for pop star Jessica Simpson and her pup. “My heart is broken because a coyote took my precious Daisy right in front of our eyes. HORROR! We are searching. Hoping. Please help!” she posted on her Twitter page.

She also posted “missing” signs, to no avail. Daisy was a Maltese-poodle cross that was a gift from ex-hubby Nick Lachey.

The incident created headlines around the world, including an in-depth article in the U.K. Daily Mail.
