Crocodile eats beloved terrier that had spent a decade taunting it

A saltwater crocodile has eaten a dog that made a mockery of it for years, to the horror of onlookers.

At Goat Island Lodge, south of Darwin in the middle of the crocodile-infested Adelaide River, guests had gathered to watch pup Pippa perform her favourite trick — running at Casey the crocodile to scare her back into the river.

But to the alarm of those looking on, including owner Kai Hansen, Pippa ran straight at her head — and Casey "did what crocs do".

The video of Pippa being dragged into the water was made worse by the screams of bystanders, but serves as a bleak warning about the river's dangers.

As Mr Hansen conceded, "it was something that had a high probability of happening sometime".

I will admit it. I had to snicker.

Stupid owner. It was definitely a matter of time, if it routinely got that close to it.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Good....

[Rurudyne]

Someone needs to show that video to that one cat’s owners.

Don’t let your snack sized pets to a gator harass the gators.

[Alas Babylon!]

Beloved? Probably not by the crocodile!

Maybe in an after dinner manner, I suppose...

[keving]

I had an ex wife just like that

[SIDENET]

Wasn’t beloved to the croc.

Turnabout is fair play

My ex-wife's Grandpa had a poodle he use to sic on her Dads's dogs. Grandpa thought it was hilarious. One time Grandpa was not there and the poodle went after the dogs on his own. Dogs killed it.

A family fight ensued when Grandpa got his gun and was going to shoot the dogs.

“South of Darwin” - yep, sure is.

Crikey!, that’s one patient croc to wait 9 years before eating the punk dog.

[BBell]

That cat does not live too far from me.

Stupid git. More time tending to one’s dental care, less time attracting a huge predator onto ones property

[rlmorel]

I don’t take the least bit of joy in it.

But the dog did get what was overdue.

[woweeitsme]

Stupid owners of that dog. I don’t blame the dog...the owners let it get away with doing that. Idiotic.

[Cubs Fan]

The dog has to be lucky every time. The crocodile only once.

[rlmorel]

And I’m not particularly a fan of those kinds of dogs. I think the owner is a bit of a dick.

[McGruff]

LOL. Some days you win, some days you lose.

[Adder]

LOL! Go, croc!

It's fun until the croc eats the dog.

Foolish people.
