His nine-year-old white dog, Bounce, played nearby. Suddenly, Gustafson was shocked by a terrifying sound. “I heard a scream from Bounce,” he says. “I ran down the hill and saw Bounce in the mouth of an alligator (短吻鳄). It was headed right to the water.” The little dog had wandered into the tall grass along a pond nearby. The alligator had sprung (跳跃) from the shallows of the pond and was now holding the dog’s collar between its teeth. It turned away from the bank and began quickly swimming into the water. Gustafson did a flying leap (跳跃), landed on top of the alligator, and grasped the back leg and tail of the alligator and yanked (猛地一拉)—which caused the animal to release (释放) the dog. Bounce paddled frantically (疯狂似地) toward the shore. Then the alligator turned around and sank its teeth into Gustafson’s right hand. “I screamed at the top of my lungs,” he says. “I thought I was in trouble.” Gustafson was able to free his hand when the beast opened its jaws again. With his injured hand, Gustafson hit the animal and pulled its head underwater. “I yelled at Bounce reminding her to get to the shore, but she was exhausted (精疲力竭的). If I didn’t get to her quickly, she was going under,” he recalls (回忆). When Gustafson released the alligator, it swam away. He grabbed (抓住) Bounce, climbed out of the pond, and carried the dog up the hill to the house. Since the event, Bounce has been subdued (顺从的) and stayed close to home. Gustafson says, too, that the dog has grown more loving. “She likes me a lot more than she used to,” he says, smiling. 1. What was Gustafson doing when he heard a scream from Bounce? A.
