A few years ago, a little dachshund in Boca Raton, Florida, was let outside by its family....who'd already lost a dog to alligators. The dachshund was gobbled up whole(the little boy saw this from the back door.) Thinking their dog was lost forever, the family was amazed a short time later when there came a scratching at the back door...and there was the dachshund, hale and hearty! She'd been swallowed whole and promptly dug her way out of the gator's side. The vet said her instincts to go down a badger hole were what saved her. Dachshunds fight tooth and claw and only need a small hole to come out. The alligator was found floating belly up, dead, in the pond. Score one for dachshunds!

I don't mean to be rude, but that story sounds fishy
