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".

Note how when the dog walks away dragging the plastic gator, he thinks the gator is coming after him, panics, and begins running. At some point it appears the gator leaps as if trying to take a bite.

Nature. Croc eats dog. Hope some folks learned that lesson.

Makes me think of that dude who wrestled crocodiles all the time and messed with nature. He eventually was bested by nature. He knew the risks.

Or that guy with the bears who did the documentaries. That was even worse, because his girlfriend was also killed, and I think partially eaten. She reportedly didn't like the idea of being around wild bears, but went along because of her feelings for him.

The poor dog’s name was ‘Pippa’? They should have named him “Pippit”.

“Pippit? Here Pippit! Pippit? Pippit!! Here Pippit!!”

Hey, Sivad!

“At least they should let him own some left wing
politicians.”

Gotta love that. I bet you could hear Snowflakes melting.

BTW, all you many Conservatives in Calif. are to be commended for your turnouts for the Primaries the other day.

Bumper sticker “

‘THE MORE I GET TO KNOW SOME PEOPLE, THE MORE I LOVE MY DOG’

First reference to his teeth that I’ve seen. Aussie teeth. A worse version of British teeth.

I heard that Newsom said that the Lt Gov job bored him
so he sometimes came to work 1 day per week. Just can’t
believe anybody would be stupid enough to say that.
The guy has a target rich history but I don’t think Cox
is the guy to exploit it.

Play stupid games, get eaten.

Sometimes you are the Louisville slugger baby - Sometimes you are the ball.

Newsom probably said that because he knows his supporters don’t care.

You know more about him than I but so far Cox seems pretty good.

[laplata]

Yes, she’s a nasty, vile anti-American. She is Obama’s handler.

Obama did all he could to bleed America to death with a thousand cuts and she saw to it.

It’s an alagator eat dog world out there...

[CrimsonTidegirl]

Amen.

I need that bumper sticker.

[laplata]

I’ll ask my brother where he got his and let you know. He’s had it for a while so I hope he remembers.

[CrimsonTidegirl]

Thanks:)

[laplata]

I called my brother and one of his friends gave the bumper sticker to him so he doesn’t know where to get one other than to look online. I hope you find one.

My nickname for those small yappy dogs has always been “BAIT.”

Wife calls them "skeet."

This is what happens after 50 years of protective pandering to predatory animal species.
