obby Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Friday, August 27, 2004 Posted: 9:32 AM EDT (1332 GMT) GAINESVILLE, Florida (AP) -- A man jumped in a pond and stabbed a 6-foot alligator with a pocketknife to force the reptile to release his dog from its jaws.Matthew Goff, 29, said he was walking Sugar, a tan-colored bloodhound/Shar-Pei mix, in a park when the attack occurred Wednesday evening. The unleashed dog wandered to the edge of the pond, and the gator grabbed its head."I couldn't stand by and watch it happen, and I had the pocketknife so I decided to try and save her," Goff said.The gator released Sugar when Goff stabbed the reptile in the eye. The dog then ran home, escaping with three teeth marks on and about her head. Goff had a few scratches.A state trapper planned to kill the gator if it's found.
