What a man wouldn’t do to save his dog. Greg LeNoir saved the life of his Rat Terrier Jake Thursday from a shark. Jake was moments away from being eaten alive when the heroic owner punched the five-foot long shark which amazingly drove it away.

The traumatized pup had been dragged under the water and badly bitten, but was released immediately and popped to the surface. The drama happened as avid swimmer Jake – a rescue dog – was enjoying his daily dip in a Florida Keys marina.
