TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Man Saves His Puppy From The Jaws Of Alligator With His Bare Hands

There’s men… and then there’s REAL men. Like this guy from Florida who saved his three-month-old puppy from the jaws of an alligator using his bare hands.

It’s an incredible video to watch. The puppy, who’s name is Gunner might be the cutest puppy ever too. Luckily Gunner ended up being fine other than a small puncture wound. And his hands got a bit chewed up. Other than that it was a miraculous moment.

My sneaky favorite part of the whole thing is how he never even drops his cigar while making the rescue! Amazing.

The correct amount of speghetti for a single serving fits in that hole. So before you put the noodles in the water you can measure them out using the spoon. So cool! Totally doing this next time.
