Doesn't even waste an illegal stogie from Cuba. A win/win.
A Florida man saved his dog in style, snatching it from the jaws of an alligator without dropping his cigar.
The video of Richard Wilbanks, 74, went viral, showing him jump into a pond to pull his 3-month-old puppy, Gunner, away from the alligator.
"We were just out walking by the pond," Wilbanks said, according to People. "It came out of the water like a missile. I never thought an alligator could be that fast. It was so quick."
Wilbanks said that he “automatically” jumped in to save his dog, wrestling with the small alligator, which he claimed was no problem.
He did find it “extremely hard” to pry open the gator’s jaws.
Florida man saves dog from alligator, smokes cigar the whole time
The encounter left the man with his hands "chewed up," and he required a tetanus shot -- just to be safe.
