Florida Man Fights Gator to Save Dog

NAPLES, FL (AJC) – Man’s best friend found himself up against the ultimate alpha dog– a 7-foot gator.

The Naples Daily News reported that Carbon, a black lab, was cooling off in a lake when he bumped into trouble with the gator.

Lucky for him, Donald C. Copps, who was watching Carbon for a friend, jumped in to help.

Carbon’s left thigh was bit before getting away, the Daily News reported.

As a black lab owner, I’d like to think that I would have done the same thing in this situation.

I love my labs more than most (if not all) people, and no gator is going to take them away from me.

Talk about a great friend.
