A 13-foot alligator grabbed the 6-year-old rescue pup and tried pulling him into the water while his owner was taking him for a walk
Trent Tweddale and his dog, Loki, were enjoying a Monday morning walk on his Wesley Chapel farm in Pasco County, Florida, when a 13-foot alligator attacked the 6-year-old rescue pup.
"I grabbed the dog’s collar to try to pull him back, and I ended up in a tug-of-war match with this gator, and the gator was not letting go," Tweddale, a former Army staff sergeant, said. "So I let go of the collar, and I got about knee-deep into the water and started pounding on the gator’s head until he eventually let go."While the owner got out of the scrap with a few minor injuries, Loki had to undergo emergency surgery.
