London:
Hollywood actress Eva Mendes' luxury car has been damaged by her dog who went "ballistic" at the sight of a coyote and smashed her windshield.
The Hitch star owns a burly Belgian Malinois named Hugo, which she describes as "a really sweet attack dog".
But Hugo damaged her car during a drive back to Mendes' California home, when a coyote caught his eye from the backseat of the car, prompting him to try and muscle his way through the glass, reported Contactmusic.
"He's fully trained, fully equipped. And he's in the back and I'm driving and a coyote runs across... and for some reason Hugo becomes crazy. His instincts kick in. He just thinks, 'Kill coyote before coyote kills mama!' said Mendes.
"So he goes ballistic back there. He leaps across and all my windows are closed and he's going insane against the windshield. So I have to pull the car over and and get some kind of control over the situation being the pack leader that I am. I look over to my windshield and it's completely shattered," she added.
But the 36-year-old actress assured animal lovers her beloved pooch didn't injure himself, saying, "Doggy's OK."
