SAN ANTONIO HEIGHTS - Coyotes are no strangers to San Antonio Heights, and resident William Perry has experienced this first-hand.
The Heights resident watched his 3-year-old shih tzu Cooty get snatched by a coyote in his front yard.
"My truck is not a four-wheel-drive, but I made it one that morning," Perry said.
Cooty survived the attack, but lost his right eye.
"I was going to run that coyote over and then my dog jumped up," Perry said. "I about freaked. He shouldn't have been alive."
Now Perry carries an air horn with him to scare off lurking coyotes, which doesn't hurt, said Andrew Hughan, information officer for the state Department of Fish and Game.
"It can't hurt," Hughan said. "The rest of the neighbors probably don't appreciate it, but it doesn't hurt. There's no deterrent like bear spray. There's nothing like that for coyotes."
Generally making noise or throwing objects at the coyotes tends to scare them off, he said.
Perry has also developed a new daily routine. He will drive around his house in his truck looking for coyotes. He also keeps his dogs inside at night
Hughan said it is important for people to eliminate all food sources and avoid feeding wildlife. They should also never leave small animals unattended.
Coyote sightings this time of year is typical, Hughan said.
"It's summertime. It's the high heat right now coyotes are out looking for food doing what coyotes do. Nothing unusual," Hughan said.
There have not been any people attacked by coyotes this year in California, he said.
"It does happen, but it's very very rare that coyotes will actually go after a person, so that's the good news," Hughan said. "The bad news is hundreds and hundreds of pets get scooped up every year. The smaller animals are more vulnerable."

The San Antonio Heights Gardening Club is having a plant exchange during the monthly produce exchange from 9 to 11 a.m. in the parking lot behind Life Bible Fellowship church, 2426 N. Euclid Ave.
Community members can bring a plant and exchange it for a plant brought by a neighbor.
When participants bring plants, they will receive a ticket to get a plant from someone else.
Plants can include fruits, vegetables, succulents, flowers, grasses and more.
They can be potted, succulent cuttings that can be propagated or a plant that was dug up in the morning and placed in a bag.
The produce exchange allows people to trade homegrown fruits and vegetables.
There will also be a Cymbidium Orchid planting demonstration, craft and jewelry vendors as well as a taco bar by Catering Susil.
A former member of the San Antonio Water Co. Board of Directors is accusing two board members of violating conflict-of-interest laws.
Ken McNeil of San Antonio Heights filed a complaint with the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office accusing Ken Willis and Tom Thomas of signing a water service agreement between San Antonio and the city of Upland prematurely without authorization from the water board.
Willis and Thomas are also Upland City Council members.
McNeil said the signed agreement benefits the city so a conflict of interest may have occurred.
California law states that members of the Legislature and other local officers or employees cannot have a financial interest in any contract made by them in their official capacity, or by any body or board of which they are members.
"I don't think you have to prove that it necessarily unfairly benefits anyone," McNeil said. "It's just the process is not right."
The signed agreement is dated Dec. 8, 2008, but the agreement was not approved until a Feb. 17, 2009, water board meeting, according to minutes from a water company board meeting.
The San Antonio Heights Association is holding it's first annual neighborhood steakfest from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday in San Antonio Park.

San Antonio Park is at 24th Street and Mountain Avenue in Upland.
Life Bible Fellowship church in San Antonio Heights was recently given an Automated External Defibrillator from the American Medical Response.
Keith Douglas, a fire captain/paramedic with the Los Angeles Fire Department was the winner of a raffle at the California's Fire, EMS and Disaster Conference and Expo. He was able to chose an organization to be the recipient of an Automated External Defibrillator.
Douglas chose the church and the machine was presented on July 1.
An AED is a portable electronic devise that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias and is able to treat them through defibrillation.
