South Florida - It's that time a year when alligators come out of our waterways to look for some extra sun and end up in someone's yard. These ancient creatures, having been known to eat small pets, can cause even the bravest among us to go running indoors.
But it seems, one local small dog has had enough of the torment. Oz the Terrier came across a mother alligator and her baby the other day in his front yard.
The alligators tried to flee but the fearless terrier stopped them in their tracks.
Though the alligators put up a good fight, Oz the Terrier got the better of them; he caught them and gave them a good terrier shakedown, killing them instantly.
His neighbors were so impressed, they presented Oz with an award - some Fruitables Pumpkin and Banana Crunchy Dog Treats.
"It really wasn't necessary for my neighbors to provide me with treats. I did what any terrier would do in that situation," Oz explained. He continued, "Though I am grateful for the Fruitables. They are tasty and super crunchy!"
Oz the Terrier has been known to chase several types of exotic creatures and he actually lives with two as pets, a blue-fronted Amazon parrot and a monkey.
"The parrot was part of the family before I came along. He is nuts and loud, but we have become quite close," says Oz. "The monkey is a recent addition to the family."
Oz has enjoyed playing with his new monkey, as evidenced by this cell phone video:
Unfortunately, Oz could not control his terrier ways and has since deaded the monkey. Thankfully, he is still protecting his neighborhood from all sorts of creatures.

Too funny! Glad you got the alligators, that could have been dangerous if they stayed on the loose!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you gave that Monkey what for Oz, with a noise like that it's no wonder you wanted to dead it. :-)

Wow Oz... you are so brave! BOL loved this review :) The alligators look really cool, I haven't seen those before!
ReplyDeleteCute video. :D Sephi had a screaming monkey toy once, and a ribbeting frog toy, neither of which lasted very long. So I don't get those kind of toys anymore. I do get those alligator chews, though... Delicious!
