FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - Wildlife officials say a 5-foot-long alligator snatched a Yorkshire terrier near a pond at a Fort Myers country club.

Cheryl Young said she was outside her home at the Estero Country Club Friday afternoon while her small dog was running around nearby without a leash. All of the sudden, the alligator jumped out of the water, grabbed the dog and pulled it back to the pond.

You have to be a real idiot to let your dog off a leash anywhere near a pond in FL.

I wish a gator would get my sister-in-law’s little dog. I hate the thing. Pisses and craps all over my house.
