“FWC is in charge of the investigation, however we assisted with a helicopter and manpower,” Mascara said. The woman’s name has not been released. Officials said the dog survived the attack, but its condition wasn’t immediately known. Fatal alligator attacks are rare, but they do happen. In 2016, 2-year-old Lane Graves was killed by alligator as he was vacationing with his family from Nebraska at Walt Disney World. Since then hundreds of gators have been relocated from the area.Share this Story:
