A video viral recorded by a security camera in Florida, United States, has unleashed hundreds of comments and the amazement of many users. It is about a 74-year-old man who risked his life to save the life of his dog Gunner, who was going to be preyed upon by an alligator.
Such was the dedication of Richard Wilbanks, 74, to rescue the cub that the courageous protagonist of the viral video, after struggling for a few seconds, managed to snatch it from the furious alligator and put it safely on the shore, despite the fact that the predator had no intention of releasing it.
The effort of the subject, who resides in Estero, Florida, paid off and was able to return the puppy to dry land. Meanwhile, the puppy ran in the opposite direction to danger amid groans of fear and pain, not knowing how lucky he had been.
“We were walking by the pond”Wilbanks said in conversation with CNN. “It came out of the water like a missile. I never thought an alligator could be so fast. It was so fast “,
As he said, adrenaline or instinct kicked in and “automatically I jumped into the water.” Holding the crocodile wasn’t that difficult, but opening the jaws was “extremely difficult”added.
The man said that his hands suffered some damage from the reptile’s bite and that he went to a doctor for treatment. On the other hand, Gunner had a puncture wound to the abdomen, but was able to recover after a visit to the vet.
