Dog Fights Off 700-Pound Alligator

PINOPOLIS, S.C. (AP) - Dogs don’t usually survive alligator attacks - especially when the reptile is three times the canine’s size. But Cooper, a 5-year-old golden retriever, is an exception. The spirited dog fought off a 14-foot, 700-pound alligator in a Lake Moultrie canal last month and lived to howl about it.

“I thought he was dead,” said 14-year-old Chase Kierspe of the family pet. “The alligator was huge. I didn’t think he could fight it. He fights me, but that’s all.”

Cooper escaped from the backyard for a swim across the canal and apparently attracted the gator. Chase was cutting the grass when he saw the alligator spying his pet. He threw a cup and a lawn chair at the gator, but it didn’t budge.

Then Cooper leaped and the gator followed. Chase ran and screamed for help.

After it was all over, Cooper had lost a few teeth and had flesh and muscle torn from a front leg and chunks of skin missing from both haunches. The gator suffered bites to its snout.
