Sarah Paulson Details Hilariously Protective Way She Walks Her 3 Dogs

American Horror Story actress Sarah Paulson, age 49, has three little dogs that she enjoys walking, like most of us dog parents do.

The issue is the Tony winning actress lives in an area where coyotes are present.

People Magazine had an exclusive interview with the actress about her new movie Hold Your Breath about the dust bowl (Which sounds amazing, by the way) and in the interview Paulson said, "I thought the script was so beautiful, and on the face of it, something that I could tap into from a human perspective,” she says. “I don't have children, but I am an aunt to my sister's children — and I have three dogs I'm absolutely obsessed with!"

“You should see me walking my dogs. I have a headlamp on, I've got a can of coins to rattle if I see a coyote. It's almost comical the way I look at night when I'm walking my dogs, and it's because I'm afraid something's going to happen to them,” she says. "There's nothing I can do about that reality.”

Aww, I'm not sure anything makes me happier than the idea of Paulson walking her fur babies and rattling a can of coins to protect them, especially when her fur babies look like this.

How To Stay Safe From Coyotes When Walking Your Dog

Far more cats and dogs are killed by coyotes in California than in any other state. If you live in a place where coyotes have been spotted it's important you follow certain safety precautions, especially when walking your dog.

Before you head out, make sure your cell phone is charged and you tell a friend or family member what route you will be walking and when you can be expected home, especially at night. Coyotes are most active at dusk and dawn.

Keep your dog close by your side, ideally on a leash that’s no longer than 6 feet. This makes it easier to control your dog and reduces the risk of an encounter because if they are on a flexi leash they can wander a lot further.

If you do encounter a coyote:

• Stand Tall and Assertive: If you see a coyote, stand tall, make eye contact, and do not turn your back.

• Wave Your Arms: Raise your arms and wave them to make yourself appear larger.

• Make Noise: Clap your hands, shout, or use a whistle or air horn to scare the coyote away. You can also do what Paulson does and carry a can or jar with coins in it.

You can also throw sticks or rocks to scare the coyote away.

Stay safe out there for you an your fur baby!
