The alligator was only 3 feet long, but Candy Frey wasn't taking any chances. When the reptile came into the lanai of her home east of Bradenton Saturday and attacked her golden retriever, Frey went and got her gun.
After Frey and her daughter managed to push the gator out of the lanai through the dog door, she blasted away at it four times.

The alligator barely bled from gunshots to the neck and shoulder, Frey said, and wildlife officer put it back in the lake.
The deputy gave Frey a warning citation for hunting without a license.
For the record, "lanai" is a silly Floridian word for patio.

You have to admit that's rich.
It's definitely the best part of the story.
Dara, you're beginning to react to alligators the same way Stephen Colbert reacts to bears.
