A Florida man jumped into action to rescue his 3-month old puppy from the jaws of an alligator over the weekend. Richard Wilbanks of Estero says his pup, Gunner was walking near the pond in his backyard when the alligator attacked. Adrenaline kicked in, and Wilbanks ran- cigar in mouth- to save Gunner.
The whole thing was caught on camera! Wilbanks wrestled the gator and pried its teeth open to save Gunner, who suffered one puncture wound in his belly. He’s doing just fine after a trip to the vet! Wilbanks is also surprisingly doing okay after wrestling the gator! Would you wrestle a dangerous animal to save your pet?
