Wow. Poor little puppy

On the 11pm news, I just saw a video of a small cocker spaniel puppy who was drinking at the waters edge when suddenly a 4 foot long alligator came out of the water and pulled the puppy down below the surface. The puppy's owner jumped into the water, reached down below the surface and grabbed both the gator and the puppy in its jaws. The man got both animals out of the water and with his bare hands pried the gators jaws apart.
As soon as the jaws were opened the puppy dashed for safety.
The man suffered some cuts on his hands but miraculously the puppy had no injuries.

Indeed. Alligators in Florida come very, very big. Certainly big enough to take down a cow.

Re: Wow. Poor little puppy

I am pleased that the man managed to save the puppy, but I hope he has learned a lesson from this! If he knows there are alligators in an area surely he was a bit naive allowing a puppy to run round without a lead.
It was a young alligator who was probably hungry, so we can't blame it for seeking food.... but I would never allow my pet to run freely if I knew there were dangers, to it, in the area.

Yes quite, Muddy.

I am still surprised the puppy's body wasn't punctured from those teeth, or drowned from being held under water, even though it was for a relatively short time.

I wonder if the owner was aware there were alligators there, or did he have no idea?

Re: Wow. Poor little puppy

Ah, it was a small gator. Wonder if he would have been so brave to wrestle with a full grown one? But well done, anyway.
