ly stupid!
Just buy another dog! :dunno:
Don't get me wrong but in these kind of situations I would consider animals disposable. It's the humans we should be worried about, even if they are a few fingers.
A few months back I was listening to a call-in radio talk show where they were discussing a news where (I can't exactly remember the details) a pet was allowed to die in an emergency situation. All callers from urban areas were up in arms for not saving the animal while someone from countryside called and said that it was perfectly alright to let an animal die when human safety at stake. I'm not stereotyping, am I?

I was one that never understood people attaction to animals. But when I was deicharged one way my therpist had for me to "recover" was for me to get a dog, someone that I could show affection to and would be happy to see me each and every day. One day I had her outside and kids where throwing rocks at her. Cut her above her eye pretty bad 5 stiches. Now a gator is a different story, but i know what that guy first though was and I don't blame him one bit.

Well, they are his fingers and he thinks the dog was worth it so more power to him.........right?:dunno:
But dogs get eaten in Florida all the time. Ask anyone living in that state and they'll tell you it is a regular occurance for dogs to get eaten by alligators. It's all the same situation: old retiree is near a lake with her tiny, revoltingly cute mutt, the dog runs to the edge of a lake, swamp, or pond, and dog gets eaten by a gator. What's the loss of one less dog from another idly rich retiree going to matter?

I love my dogs - they're smart and funny and generally remember to take care of their business outside. But I'm not taking on a gator for one of them.

Some people treat their pets as part of the family and I understand that completely, but...wow. Just...wow.
