Maybe its just me, and I'm not playing along with the caption theme but I would want to know if I was walking into this cute little guy's path.

To be a good sport, "You and your little dog too."
A gator can outrun a horse for short distances.

Many years ago we lived in SE FL and every morning I took our dog for a long walk. I kept my eyes open for places to run if we had to. Some of our neighbors had trucks and plan A was if a gator chased us I would run like the wind, grab my dog and jump in the back of the pick up truck. I didn't know then that they can climb.
