I would call Steve a hero and would love to have him as a neighbor. Someone who sees his loved one being eaten alive and risk's his life to save him is a man of action and someone I admire. As for the alligator, I hate to see them culled but we do live among wildlife and if a pet is threatened, action is required. This is still a free country and as stated above, a leash is not required on one's property; I have a feeling that he will be much more proactive in watching Bounce in the future. The biggest danger Steve faces now is infection from being submerged in a retention pond with an open wound. Hopefully he's on strong antibiotics.
