Man Jumps into water, opens jaws of an alligator to rescue dog
In a hair-raising video, a man was filmed rescuing his whimpering dog from the jaws of an alligator.
Richard Wilbanks, 74, was filmed running into his backyard pool to save his three-month-old puppy from certain death, according to news reports.
The dramatic rescue was captured on surveillance cameras that were set up in the area through a partnership between the Florida Wildlife Federation and the fStop Foundation.
“We were just out walking by the pond and it came out of the water like a missile. I never thought an alligator could be that fast. It was so quick.” Mr Wilbanks told reporters.
The retiree immediately jumped into water to rescue his pet – named Gunner. He rushed underwater and open the jaws of the gator in order to save the whimpering puppy, saying that trying to open the reptile’s jaws was “extremely hard”.
“The dog had one little puncture wound and my hands were just chewed up,” Mr Wilbanks said.
Several social media users applauded the 74-year-old for his courage and praised him for saving the life of his puppy.

Dear Obaa Yaa,
I AM in love with Adwoa, a 25-year-old banker. She has a 10-month old daughter and I am not perturbed about that. She said the father of the child broke up with her even before the child was born. I loved her even before I knew she had a child, and when she told me she had a baby, it didn’t change anything. Love was still love, and care still flowed between us.
I spent some nights with her, and the behaviour of her baby makes me feel like there’s another man she knows. She cries when I pick her up.
The same thing happens when she wakes up and sees me in bed with her mother. I’m not comfortable with the way that baby looks at me. It’s as though there’s someone else looking at me through her eyes. She doesn’t blink an eye. She looks at me as if I’m not the one she’s expecting to see. Is this normal?
Papa, Swedru.
Dear Papa,
IT’S understandable you’re feeling a bit uneasy about the baby’s behaviour. Given the situation, it’s likely the baby is just picking up on your energy or adjusting to a new face.
Ten-month-old can be particular about strangers. Try engaging with her more during calm moments, like playtime or when she is fed. Build a bond through activities she enjoys and have an open chat with your girlfriend about how you’re feeling; she might notice things you’ve missed. The intense staring could be curiosity; babies are like that sometimes. Take it easy, and don’t overthink it.

A man who bed-wets went to see a psychiatrist…
Psychiatrist: Does a dream usually precede your bed-wetting?
Man: Yes.
Psychiatrist: Tell me how it happens.
Man: A little demon appears to me in my sleep and says, “Hey… Let us pee.” Then, I wake up to see the bed wet with my urine.
Psychiatrist: This is what you must do. If the demon comes tonight and tells you “let us pee”, just reply him that you have already peed.
The man left and returned the following day with tears streaming down his face.
Psychiatrist: Why are you weeping? Didn’t my therapy work?
Man: You have worsened my case!
Psychiatrist: What? How?
Man: When the demon came, I told him I’d already peed. Then he said, “OK, let us sh*t.”
