SLO County deputy rescues dog from coyotes at Lake Nacimiento

November 3, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

A San Luis Obispo County sheriff’s deputy rescued a dog today that was stuck in the mud at Lake Nacimeiento with coyotes attempting to get at him.

Fortunately, a deputy on patrol was in the right place at the right time. With quick thinking and help from local residents who recognized Jagger from social media posts the day before, they built a makeshift bridge and safely rescued this scared 16-year-old dog.

“After a bath, some treats, and lots of “good boy!” praise, Jagger is back home with his family,” according to the SLO County Sheriff’s Office. “We are grateful for our community’s involvement and our deputy’s quick action today, protecting every member of SLO County, even the four-legged ones.”

Less dogs, more wildlife! The lack of respect for “No Dogs” signs here along the coast(and elsewhere) is ridiculous. Those spaces are meant to be safe zones for the wildlife which occupy them because domesticated animals(dogs) have different germs that afflict wildlife severely. Especially when their feces is not being picked up! If you want to see cool wildlife, leave your pets at home pls.

Shame on those pesky dog owners who didn’t teach their dogs to read the signs.

What a horrible life these people lead that live the life of a contrarian.


Says a whole lot about THEM.
