‘It was quite an experience’: Alligator sneaks into couple’s Louisiana home through the doggy door
NEW IBERIA, La - A couple who recently relocated from Arizona to Louisiana got quite a Cajun welcome when they awoke to an alligator inside their home.Don and Jan Schultz were woken up in the middle of the night by their dog who sensed something was wrong.
“Our dog Panda growled and woke my wife. She tapped me and said, ‘I think there’s somebody in the house,’” Don Schultz said. “So, I got up and headed down the hall to check and that’s when I saw the shape of an alligator.”The couple said they called 911, and authorities came soon after to capture the uninvited guest.
“We are real grateful for the sheriff and wildlife and fisheries which came to get the creature from our home,” Jan Schultz said. “I guess it’s off swimming in a bayou somewhere.” Don Schultz added, “We are taking precautions and locking the doggie door which will now only open with the dog’s collar. We don’t want another surprise like this in the future.”
