A Florida woman was attacked after leaping into Lake Kissimmee to rescue her dog from an alligator attack. According to officials, the woman jumped into the water when her pet, Stella, was grabbed by the gator. While Dax managed to escape unharmed, the woman was fatally injured. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission later captured and euthanized two large alligators from the area. Locals say dogs are frequent targets, as their size and splashing mimic natural prey. This heartbreaking case highlights the strong bond between people and their pets and the risks owners face in alligator country. Authorities are once again urging pet parents to keep dogs leashed, avoid shorelines, and stay vigilant near lakes and swamps.
