NOKOMIS, Fla. (WWSB) - A man didn’t hesitate to jump into a canal in Sarasota County on Friday to rescue his dog from an alligator.
An officer with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) tells ABC7 that around 5pm the man was inside his home on the 100 block of Margaret Drive in Nokomis, his chocolate lab outside, when he heard a commotion coming from the canal behind his home.
The man rushed outside to find his dog in the canal with an alligator. Without pausing, the man jumped into the canal and pried open the gator’s jaws to rescue his dog, pulling the dog to safety.

Jack, he is a banker
and Jane, she is a clerk
