A three-month-old puppy was saved from the mouth of a dangerous alligator in Florida.

In video footage shared on independent.co.uk, an elderly brave man can be seen wrestling with the alligator while the poor puppy was screaming for his life.

According to the report, the puppy, whose name is King Charles, was dragged into a pond by the giant alligator.

"We were just out walking by the pond and it came out of the water like a missile,” Richard Wilbanks told CNN. 

But, before the gator could finish off what it started, Wilbanks entered into the pond and fought off the alligator.

"I never thought an alligator could be that fast. It was so quick. I just automatically jumped into the water,” he added. 

Wilbanks held the puppy by the hand, pulling it out of the jaws of the alligator.

After much wrestling, the puppy was saved.
