I finished him with a nine iron to the skull. He ran away sniveling like the cowardly creature he was. My advice to anyone who encounters a gator is to fight on your own terms. They’re terrible boxers.

That is something right out of
Mad TV.
On a serious note, a number of years ago a dog got taken near a pond around Sumter Landing-- a WESTIE I think-- and its owner jumped in a wrestled the gator and pulled the pooch away. There was some injury to the dog but none to the man that I remember. It made the national news and the guy posted in here (Talk of the Villages) a little bit under the name Gator Gus.
