Frankly, I am surprised there was a seven footer since I have repeatedly been told they are taken away if they reach five feet. So this is a nice warning for us all. These gators are nothing to fool with...I saw a three footer next to my ball and was most happy to let him have it. We do need to be respectful of their space and I am sure this unlikely hero will not be making the same mistake twice and we can all be reminded of what can.. and does..happen.

Couldn't agree with you more. The man may have an invisible fence for all you know so stop it already with the leash laws. Also he chose to have the dog loose and faced the consequences - didn't ask anyone else to handle the situation - literally jumped right in. So give him credit for saving his best friend and risking his own life to save him and stop with the judgement and criticsm. I say congratulations on a job well done - and who knows that gator may have grabbed a child next time.
