AUBURNDALE, Fla. - An Auburndale resident said an alligator attacked and killed her dog at a Polk County park.
Cynthia Robinson told FOX 13 she brings her 6-year-old pit bull, named Tank, to the pond near Lake Mariana every day.
But Thursday morning, as Tank was coming out of the water, Robinson said a large alligator clamped down on her dog from behind.
“My dog didn’t even know what happened, he had that look and yelped like “Help me, mom,’” she said. “I couldn’t do nothing."
Robinson said the gator appeared to be 13 to 14 feet long.
“He made my dog look like a Chihuahua and my dog is over 100 pounds,” she said.
