I got this in my email today. I just knew I had to show you all this shocking image, espeially Miz Polly. Now we can all see ample proof of just what very small dogs can do to a gator. Now Yogi can hold his head up with pride, secure in his prowess.

Dog Pack Attacks Aligator In East Texas...
***********************The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the "apex predator", can still fall victim to an implemented team work strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and "survival of the pack mentality" bred into canines by nature.
