NORTH PORT, Fla. – A Florida man was bitten by an alligator after apparently mistaking it for a dog in the middle of the night.
WTSP reported earlier this week that a man in Sarasota County was walking outside the Warm Mineral Spring Motel in North Port just after midnight when he saw a figure moving in the dark.
“He stated the figure appeared to look like a dog with a long leash, which is why he wasn’t hesitant to move out of the way,” a sheriff’s office spokesperson wrote in an email to WTSP.
Deputies said that’s when the alligator bit his right leg, ripping off a chunk of his muscle as he tried to escape.

Lord, please protect me from finding my name in a news article that also includes an alligator. Amen.

I almost petted a skunk one time as I fumbled for my keys at my darkened front door...in the dark, I thought it was my cat!
But when I saw the thing wobble as it walked, I realized what it was! My cat sure as hell didn’t walk like that!

Stay away from alligators that think they are dogs.

He is lucky his trailer didn't burn down too. The alligator and the burning trailer are right there on the beer can label. It is like a prophesy.
