The Prince of Darkness, who bit the head off a live dove once, has lost his pet dog “Little Bit” to a coyote attack. His daughter, Kelly Osbourne, said in a Twitter message that her father “is devastated – she was his other woman.”
Osbourne also once famously bit the head off a bat he thought was rubber while performing at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1982.
Osbourne has also admitted that, at the height of his drug addiction, he shot his family’s pets. “I was taking drugs so much I was a wreck. The final straw came when I shot all our cats. We had about 17, and I went crazy and shot them all.”
The Osbournes now have 18 dogs at their sprawling home. Mrs Osbourne is a regular at the Los Angeles stray dog home and often gives homeless dogs a new home.
Last month one of her pooches needed emergency treatment after being bitten by an adder.
Authorities in Los Angeles are so concerned about coyote attacks on pets they have issued guidelines for owners. The Department of Animal Services warns: “Wild animals are opportunistic, and coyotes fit this mould very well.”
