'The two of us are tugging. Alligator is going one way. I'm going the other,' said Buddy Ackerman, who freed his daughter's dog, Osi, from the sharp-toothed reptile.
A Florida man saved his daughter's golden retriever from the jaws of an alligator that emerged from a pond behind his house.
Ackerman kicked the alligator in the snout twice, causing the creature to let go of Osi."The thing opened his mouth and backed up a little," he said. "I don't know what would have happened with people with little Pekingese or something running around. I guess we'd say goodbye." It's estimated there are more than 1.3 million alligators in Florida. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, they're more aggressive this time of year becauseOfficials with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission warn that dogs often attract alligators' attention and advise against letting pets swim, play or drink near waters that may contain alligators.
"Remember, never feed an alligator and keep your distance if you see one," Reads a notice on the FFWCC website."Swim only in designated swimming areas during daylight hours. And keep pets on a leash and away from the water."
