When officers arrived at the trail, their initial excitement turned to belly laughs upon discovering a well-camouflaged toy alligator, rather than a real one. This humorous incident serves as a light-hearted reminder to keep dogs leashed in wooded areas.
Animal Control noted, 'Surprisingly, this isn't the first alligator call in this area and it surely won't be the last – you never know what kind of creatures you'll come across in the woods.'
The toy alligator was strategically placed in the bushes, eliciting concern from hikers, yet the Animal Control officers took it in good humor, turning a potential panic into laughter.
This incident highlights how seemingly unusual sightings can become local lore, while also emphasizing the importance of pet safety on hiking trails.
