Just a reminder to keep your pets on leashes and away from the shore lines of any lakes. It only takes a moment for a gator to pull an animal into the water and even large dogs can be drowned before they can escape.
Sorry to hear that. My condolences to the family of the dog.

Most of the people at dog parks and elsewhere whom I have met who have lost a dog have been to cars/trucks or golf carts.

Keep dogs on a leash and keep a hold of it.
