I was walking my dog on a leash at the Lynnhaven Postal Center/Swimming pool at 9 a.m. and a coyote crossed Churchill Downs not 20 feet in front of us.

At the sight of the coyote I was scared that it would try to snatch my dog but fortunately it kept running across the golf course.

I had prepared myself to fight the coyote if it approached us but I cannot see me ever jumping into a pond to wrestle a gator for a dog. I would do that if another person were threatened but just do not see doing this for an animal.

The Villagers man who belly flopped onto the gator sure showed some true grit.

Maybe, this man has some rodeo background?? I just do not see many people jumping on top of an alligator unless they have some experience with this kind of animal control.
