From ABC 13 in Houston:
It was Friday at a backyard boat ramp, where all Leslie could see was Bean's body. Her head was engulfed by the gator."I saw the gator," said Leslie. "He was chomping down."
And attached to one of Bean's short legs was Sophie.
"She stepped up to the plate, grabbed her by the back leg," recalled Leslie. "She knew she wasn't supposed to be there and knew that wasn't supposed to be there. She never let go."
And it wasn't until Leslie threw a 20 pound piece of concrete at the gator that Bean was free. Sophie dragged her to safety. Next came a trip to the vet.
