Man dives in to save dog from shark in Fla. attack
ISLAMORADA, Fla. - A dog is recovering after a Florida Keys carpenter dove in to save his pet from a shark.

Greg LeNoir said he took his 14-pound rat terrier Jake for a daily swim at a marina Friday.

The five-foot shark suddenly surfaced and grabbed nearly the entire dog in its mouth.

LeNoir said he yelled, then balled up his fists and dove headfirst into the water. He hit the shark in the back and the creature finally let go of the dog.

1. After you've been shot a few times with a nail gun a gator doesn't seem too bad.

8. Doggies are so good and noble...
...that just by hanging around them, we can sometimes be as good and noble.

Luckily, it doesn't seem to drive us to eat poop.
