A man who had said he would fight “tooth and nail” for his dog, got into a tug-of-war match with an alligator that attacked his pet in Florida in the US. Trent Tweddale and his dog Loki were out for a morning walk in their farm last Monday, June 8, when the alligator appeared, NBC-affiliate WFLA-TV reported last Wednesday, June 10. ADVERTISEMENTThe man and his dog survived the encounter, but Loki had to undergo an emergency surgery since his front leg was almost severed by the alligator. Tweddale recalled how his dog had its front paws in a river when the almost 13-foot-long alligator attacked and pulled the dog down the water. “They put metal plates and screws in and were able to reconstruct it that way,” he said in the report, explaining the dog’s surgery.
