Woman missing after reported alligator attack in Florida - CBS News
These are rare with the last death from a gator attack occurring 2 years ago making 24 deaths by alligator in the last 60 years.
TOTV's own gator gus jumped in a fought off an alligator that had his dog in its jaws by the leg. This was around Lake Sumter. Made the national news if I remember correctly.
I do try to avoid the ponds when out with my dog.
