Gator vs. Golden Retriever vs. Smith & Wesson

I know - I need to change the description of the blog this year to "Musings on art, film, literature, music, PYTHONS and GATORS..." I can't explain it...Florida just amuses me...this just in...

Recapping - a Burmese python can take alligator and a cat, and even a dog even when a golf club is involved.

Not to be outdone, an enterprising gator (a featherweight at only three feet in length!) entered a Bradenton, Florida home and went for the family dog, a golden retriever.

We'll never know the outcome because the homeowner got a gun and shot the yard-long gator four times - which apparently was enough to make it change its mind about its meal, but certainly wasn't enough to kill it. Wildlife officers returned the juvenile delinquent to a nearby lake.

And the pistol-happy homeowner received a warning citation for hunting without a license.

Classic!
