"Katherine Heigl had to save her pet dog when it was attacked by a coyote recently. The Ugly Truth star apparently grabbed a broom and ran towards the wild animal in a bid to save her small dog.  A friend of the actress told the National Enquirer: &amp;quot;A savage coyote sank its teeth into one of Katherine&amp;#039;s small dogs. She heard her pet howling and growling in the backyard and ran out to discover the coyote had gripped her beloved dog in its slathering jaws.&amp;quot; They continued: &amp;quot;Screaming, she snatched a broom and ran at the beast, which instantly dropped its whimpering prey and streaked into a bush.&amp;quot; Heigl&amp;#039;s dog was reportedly shaken but didn&amp;#039;t suffer any serious injuries. The insider said: &amp;quot;Her dog yelped in terror and instantly bounced back on its four feet, lucky to be alive. It sustained two small puncture wounds.&amp;quot; Heigl has previously admitted that her husband, musician Josh Kelley, has begged her to stop bringing stray dogs home.
