CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. -- A 6-month-old golden retriever is recovering after a dangerous brush with an alligator.

Coral Springs resident Michael Rubin took the puppy, named Jasmine, for a run with his border collie Monday morning. The group was near a pond when Jasmine ran ahead to the edge of the water and Rubin heard the dog cry.

When he went to check on her, he saw the puppy's head inside the mouth of a 7-foot alligator.

Rubin jumped into the water and started beating the animal with his fist. He eventually pried the dog loose and rushed her to a nearby animal hospital, where she was treated for cuts and puncture wounds.
