A Boca Raton woman was in for a shock when she took her dog for an evening stroll at a lake at Burt Aaronson Park west on Aug. 24.
Things took a turn for the worst when the woman decided to take her dog off the leash. Her dog ran into the water and a six-foot alligator attacked. So 74-year-old Suzan Marciano decided to fight back.
She told the Palm Beach Post, “I wasn’t thinking, I did the only thing I could do. I came down on the alligator with all my weight.”
Thankfully, they both survived and are recovering from their injuries.
