Danie Wright who resides in Land O' Lakes Florida showed courage when a five foot gator came out of a creek and attacked her mixed Shih Tzu named Dax on Wednesday September 3. Danie jumped into the creek and she managed to rescue Dax by getting the dog away from the jaws of the gator and hurl her dog to the shore. The gator then went after Danie after she rescued her dog. Danie who credits her father who was a former police officer in Brockton Massachusetts who taught her to fight. Danie managed to punch and kick the gator when the gator grabbed her arm. After the gator let Danie go, Danie only suffered minor injuries to her right arm. I admire Danie for her actions of rescuing her dog. Link is msn.com/en-us/lifestyl,,,

You are right that the gator will think twice before messing with another dog.

Danie credits her dad who was a police officer for teaching her to be a brave.

Goodness me! That was either very brave or very foolhardy. I can't figure out which.

I would say brave since Danie was taught by her dad to fight.

I'm so glad Danie was able to fight the gator and get her dog back. I'm glad she wasn't injured badly.
