DAD SAVES SON FROM ALLIGATOR

A father and son are in recovery after sustaining injuries in an alligator attack while out on a fishing trip at a lake in Texas on Sunday. Kaleb Hurley, 13, was swimming in Lake Charlotte when a six- to eight-foot alligator grabbed him and began to pull him under the water. Kaleb hollered to his mother something had a hold of him. As they figured out what was going on, the alligator jerked Kaleb away. Kaleb’s dad and grandfather grabbed Kaleb and got him away from the alligator. Then Kaleb’s father James Hurley jumped into the water after his son, and he was also bitten. The family called 911 and the father and son were airlifted to a hospital.
* Time for Lake Charlotte to think about warning signs.
* Father of the Year? Make it Father of the Decade.
* And that’s how we became the dominant species on Planet Earth.
* You ask me, it’s a nice break from the shark attack stories.
* This explains why there were no fish left in the lake.
* This time, the humans were the ones that got away.
* The kid should be ready to go swimming again by 2020.
* You have to understand: alligators have been doing this since their prey was dinosaurs.
