Man, 65, Takes On Alligator To Save His Dog - Loses Fingers

Man, 65, Takes On Alligator To Save His Dog - Loses Fingers
Can he be called the Hero? After all he saves a 7 year old dog from a 7 foot alligator. And he was all of 65 years.

This heroic incidence happened in West Palm Beach. David Grounds was walking his 7-year-old dog by the pond behind his home. Suddenly he saw a huge, powerful alligator approaching. He screamed for Mandy, his companion dog. But it was too late.

The alligator clamped down on Mandy's midsection, as this report says, and the squealing dog was helpless as the alligator started thrashing. Grounds, 65, rushed over and grabbed the gator's mouth with his hands while poking it in its eye with his thumb. The gator released its grip and Mandy was saved. But then the gator snapped at Grounds, taking part of his right index and ring fingers.

Now, would you be able to do such a heroic ct when you reach 65? And that too to save your dog from a huge alligator? Kudos to David, who is in the hospital and we all pray for his early recovery.
