The Villages covenants are clear about this; ALL DOGS must be on a leash when outside the home. This gentleman just doesn't seem to understand the requirements or simply chooses to ignore what is expected of him here in The Villages. It was totally his fault that he nearly lost his "best friend".

This is a no brainer - the dog was SAVED, this precious companion animal was saved from a horrible death. The owner put himself at risk of death, to rescue his beloved pet from the jaws of an ALLIGATOR! An Alligator is a "predator" of people, dogs, cats, birds etc is now dead.
My question is this. Why would anyone complain that the dog was not on a leash on his own property, unless they just want to make themselves look good on this list? Quoting leash laws is one way to make a statement. Personally, I think it is pathetic.
Now, that's how I feel. You have your opinion and I have mine!
