The woman was walking the pet by a pond at a retirement community in St. Lucie when a 10-foot alligator jumped out and grabbed her, WPBF-TV reported.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission responded to the scene at Picante Circle at the Spanish Lakes Fairways Community after witnesses called 911, a news report from Fox Tampa said.
