Freckles the dog would not stop barking! Even into the early hours of the morning, Freckles, a 3-year-old Husky-Labrador mixed breed, barked endlessly. George Woods got out of bed to see what was going on.

The shocking reason for their dog’s barking was a 7-1/2-foot alligator that paced and hissed in the paved area near the family’s front door, oh my goodness!

“My first thought was, holy shi-nikies, what are we gonna do now?” Woods told a Coral Springs reporter.

He phoned the guard at their guarded community’s security, who was doubtful about the authenticity of his story. They called Gator Boys, a team of alligator hunters, when they came down and saw the enormous reptile.

The team of wildlife experts was able to relocate the big gator dubbed Daisy to another suitable habitat.

Freckles is being praised as a hero since his mother was getting ready to leave for work as an airline pilot. The family didn’t walk on the gator, which was lurking in the dark, thanks to Freckles’ warning. What a GOOD BOY!
