Freckles the 3-year-old Husky/Labrador mix sat barking at the door in the early morning hours, and owner George Woods got up to see what was going on. It turned out there was a giant beast lurking right outside of that door, and the good boy was just trying to warn his Mom and Dad.

Dad looked outside to see a 7-1/2′ alligator thrashing and hissing on the cement by the front door.
“My first thought was, holy shi-nikies, what are we gonna do now?” George told the Coral Springs Talk.

George called the gated community’s security team who got in touch with the Gator Boys, an alligator rescue team. They were able to safely capture and relocate the alligator to a proper area.
Freckles is such a hero for warning his family as his mom was getting ready to leave shortly for work. It’s a good thing no one had to go outside and discover this beast in person!
