A man was bitten by an alligator he thought was a dog Tuesday morning in Sarasota County, deputies told WTSP-TV.
The incident occurred around 12:30 a.m. at Warm Mineral Springs Motel on South Tamiami Trail in North Port, according to a report from the Tampa station.
Investigators said the man was walking outside the motel overnight when he spotted a dark figure that “appeared to look like a dog with a long leash,” a sheriff’s office spokesperson wrote in an email to WTSP-TV.
Deputies said the alligator bit the man’s right leg as he tried to escape,

I hate it when that happens!
Hi.
“The cat knows? Or knew?”
My cat’s name is Schrödinger.
5.56mm
Understood. But I bet in those situations you don’t walk up to it and pet it.
A walk at 12:30 am on the Tamiami Trail. Mmmmmm Being sh** faced probably didn’t help.
Sounds like a Monty Python skit … “… but only if I can watch”
I want some of what he’s smoking.
I think I know what happened here.
Oh Magoo, you’ve done it again.
That long leash was all that remained of the alligator’s last meal. The alligator was using it to floss his teeth.
(Or, look again! That was the alligators tail).
A guy was bragging about how tough his dog was.
“Killer can beat any four dogs. He’s unbeatable!”
Little Bobby said,
“I’ll bet he can’t beat my dog.”
The man told Bobby to go get his dog.
Bobby showed up with a rope around the neck of the ugliest yellow dog anyone had ever seen.
The man said,
“Killer will tear that thing up in ten seconds.”
Bobby said,
“We’ll see.”
The man slipped the chain off Killer and Bobby took the rope off his dog.
The man said,
“Get him Killer!”
Killer ran and leapt to tear up Bobby’s dog.
The yellow dog opened his mouth and bit Killer in half.
The man said,
“What kind of dog is that?”
Bobby said,
“I don’t know what kind of dog he is, but before I cut his tail off and painted him yellow, he was an alligator.”
A tip of the hat to Flip Wilson for that joke.
LOL! I wonder why he thought that might be a good idea?
right? cause i’m SURE, alcohol had NOTHING to do with it...
Alcohol or narcotics?
Awaiting confirmation.
