I figured with all the golf course lakes/ ponds there would be a few babies here and there but dang, I have seen some big ones. I have a dachshund named Cooper and the alligators are definitely concerning for me. Has anyone had any problems with alligators? Do they pose a threat to dogs? I always keep Cooper on the leash but I have heard that alligators can run faster than humans! Any advice would be great.
Thank You
Watch out, and be careful in the evenings by the postal stations.
Most gators pick up their post after dark.
