When he saw him in trouble he did not hesitate to jump into the water to save it. A man seriously risked his own life to rescue his beloved puppy dog, who ended up in the jaws of a crocodile and the whole scene was captured by nearby surveillance cameras. The dramatic episode took place in a district of Estero, town in the United States of America located in the southern part of Lee County of the State of Florida. Richard Wilbanks said he saw the alligator drag his little dog Gunner in a pond: He immediately jumped into the water to save his pet.
The story of the man after the rescue
“He is like a son to me, so I had no doubts and immediately jumped in to save him” Although not particularly large, the crocodile’s bite would have killed the animal in seconds sand had not been released in time: but his master made it, even though he found bite marks on his hands; the little dog has also suffered some injuries but is fine. The video was taken by the cameras installed thanks to a partnership between Florida Wildlife Federation and the fSTOP as part of a campaign called “Sharing the Landscape”. Meredith Budd of the Florida Wildlife Federation explained that they usually capture videos of animals such as deer and bobcats, therefore of wildlife, and that it is not often to see episodes like the one involving Wilbanks and Gunner. The campaign’s goal, he added, is to “help people appreciate and understand the wildlife in which they live, helping to reduce the conflicts that can sometimes occur between man and nature “. For his part, Wilbanks said he understood that this was the home of the alligator who was just doing what a crocodile normally does to survive.
