A long time ago I spent some time with friends that lived on Lake Moultrie in SC. Shortly before we got there a gator was killed near by and when opened they found about 6 dog collars in its belly. That's the first thing I thought of when I seen the pics of the gator and then the pups. Please keep a very, very close eye on them when you have them outside. They are too cute to have anything happen to them.
