Many people assume that coyotes don't live in suburban or urban neighborhoods because they don't see them. But that assumption can be dangerous for your animal companions.

Well now thanks to a couple in San Diego, they created a new protective vest for dogs to defend against coyotes and other predators.

Paul and Pamela Mott came up with the idea after their dog Buffy was killed by a coyote back in 2014. They worked through a few designs that ended with the CoyoteVest. It has plastic spikes around the collar, spikes down the length of the torso and long plastic quills shooting up along the center from the neck to the back.

What do you think of the invention?
