Doug Hay became an unexpected hero when he jumped into a Lakewood Ranch lake to save a wounded bald eagle. Witnessing the eagle in distress, likely engaged in a fight, Hay faced considerable danger, including the presence of a 7-foot alligator in the water. The rescue was captured on video by his wife, highlighting his bravery. After reaching the eagle, which clutched his arm with its talons, Hay needed assistance to return to safety. The eagle is now receiving care for serious injuries, while Hay expressed he would repeat his actions without hesitation.
According to Hay, after risking his own safety to rescue the injured bald eagle, he stated he would do it again for 'the symbol of America.'
