I have lived here for 70 years. I have spent a lot of time on the water I have seen a gazillion alligators. (by count) I never mistook an alligator for a dog, even in the days that I was still drinking. Alligators and I have an understanding, I respect them and they don't bother me. A lot of people who are bitten by gators just don't understand that the gator does not want to be petted and he doesn't want to play. Gators have two tricks; they eat and they breed. The man should be happy that the gator wasn't in the breeding mode.

However, DeSatan is a different story; he is much more dangerous and there is nothing there to respect.
