He lost fingers saving his dog from gator attack
Alligator had Wheaten terrier in its jaws when owner rescued her; she’s OK
 

Edgar position on this.
I am sad for the gator its true but i am a dog lover.
i love all animals its just me I am not saying it to make other people think like me.
I wish they take the aligator somewhere else, i guess thats not posible.
but i am happy for the dog.
I am not entering a discussion wether was good or bad or intelligent or dumb, only that it was brave and i am happy the dog is o.k.
i am sad for the gator tough.
I am pretty sure iwould probably do the same if it was one of my dogs.

Edgar, I'd like to say I know what I'd do in this particular situation, but I'm drawing a blank here.  I guess I'm just stuck on creating the hypothetical where fate puts me and a dog I love in a scenerio with a gator.

I play finger picking guitar, so it would be tough for me to sacrifice some fingers. But I would easily let a gator chomp off the little finger on my right hand if it meant saving my dog. And, if it was really necessary, he could have my some of my ring finger, too, as long as there would be no Gerald Green comparisons.

I don't know if this story applies, but it's one of my favorite bizarres stories of something I've witnessed with my own eyes in my life, and it displays how we can, in fact, set aside personal peril when our dogs' lives are at stake.

One day, when I was in college, I was waiting for the shuttle bus to dinner. There was a group of us on a Beacon Street sidewalk in Boston.  For those of you not familiar, Beacon Street is two lanes of one way traffic.  It's busy and people tend to drive way too fast on it.

Anyhow...There was a group of us waiting for the bus.  We see a very familiar dog running down the sidewalk unleashed. It was a German Shephard, mutt type pooch. We've seen this dog virtually every day around the same time being faithfully walked by its owner.  Today though, the owner is chasing after the dog, frantically calling it's name (which escapes me).

The dog decides cutting across Beacon Street would be a swell idea, so it hightails its way through a fortuitous break in the traffic on towards the other side.  The man, now totally terrified,  screams at the dog and follows it blindly across the street.

We're all watching this surreal scene unfold in the blink of an eye in front of us.  The man was a few steps into the road, when he is smacked by an oncoming car and thrown into the air.

I can't speak for my fellow witnesses, but I was pretty certain I had just witnessed a man get killed.  This being the days before cell phones, one of us ran to call 911.

I was dumbstruck.  The hood of the car was dented and the windshield shattered.  The man, quite contrary to the car, or any rational expectation of his bodily composure at that point, was unharmed.  He stood up, and literally dusted off his jeans and resumed his search for the dog.

Someone had caught the dog on the other side of the road, and a few people had stopped the man and made sure that he wasn't in shock.

The two were reunited within moments.

The next day, the man was out walking his dog (on a leash).

Craziest thing I ever saw.

I'm sorry, what was that?  I was too busy running like a mutha away from that overturned truck.

Just put you over the top.
Ask SSF what kind of a man I am.
