Central Florida Woman Says Alligator Ate Her 100 Pound Dog

What to Know

  • A trapper with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has been sent to the park to search for the gator.

A woman in central Florida says an alligator ate her 100-pound dog.

Cynthia Robinson told investigators in Auburndale, Florida that she was walking her 6-year-old dog, Tank, by a retention pond on Thursday when the gator attacked.

Robinson told local media that she wanted to help her dog, but the alligator was huge and Tank didn't stand a chance.

“My dog didn’t even know what happened to him. He had that look like, [he was] yelping. He was like ‘Help me mama,’ but I couldn’t do nothing,” Robinson said through tears to NBC station WFLA-TV.
