A man from the American state of Florida rescued his three-month-old puppy from the mouth of an alligator, a species of crocodile that lives in the rivers of America. The case took place on November 21 near a pond and was recorded by surveillance cameras.

 

The owner of the quadruped is Richard Wilbanks, 74, from Estero. "I was just coming out of the pond," Wilbanks told, "and it came out of the water like a rocket. I never thought an alligator could be so fast. It was so fast. "

 

He said his adrenaline and instinct made him jump into the water automatically and save his dog. In the captured images you can see how the man tries to keep the alligator's jaw open. The man reported that it was extremely difficult for him to do so.

 

Wilbanks said that after this incident he went to a doctor to be vaccinated with tetanus. As for the puppy named Gunner, he was injured in the abdomen, but he did well after being examined by a veterinarian.

 

Wilbanks continues to walk the dog on the edge of the pond, but keeps his quadruped on a leash and ten meters away from the water.

 

The Florida Wildlife Federation does not want the crocodiles to be taken out of the pond. "They are part of nature and part of our lives. We want to thrive with wildlife in a common landscape. "
