Elderly man frees pet dog from alligator’s jaws using bare hands

FLORIDA (ANN): An elderly man used his bare hands to pry open the jaws of an alligator that suddenly clamped onto his puppy in Florida, USA.

Richard Wilbanks and his 3-month-old puppy, Gunner, were walking near his backyard pond at the end of October when the reptile attacked. After latching onto the dog, the alligator quickly dragged it back underwater, as per the Fort Myers News-Press on Nov. 21.
