For once, Florida Man is the hero.
One Sunshine state gentleman is now being cheered after a dramatic rescue where he saved an adorable puppy from the jaws of a hungry gator was caught on tape and shared via TikTok.
would you? Walking the dog in florida around any body of water this is a risk we take. Florida wildlife be savages sometimes.
The security camera footage clip found on The Sun was captioned: “Would you? Walking the dog in Florida around any body of water this is a risk we take… Florida wildlife be savages sometimes.”
In the video, a man in a white tank top is seen frantically feeling below the surface of a lake before pulling out a puppy — with the gator attached.
The man groans as he pulls the animals to the edge of the lake and, as the dogs yelps, wrestles with the alligator’s jaw. The young, terrified dog manages to escape, running away and the video ends as the man is still wrestling with the gator.
It is not yet known where the clip was filmed but thankfully, the alligator wasn’t as big as the monster gator seen wandering a golf course in Naples earlier this month.
