An alligator with an appetite gobbled up a 100-pound pit bull as its owner took it on a leisurely walk through a Florida park, according to the tragic pooch’s horrified owner.

Cynthia Robinson, of Auburndale, Fla., told Florida News Channel 8 that she let her pup, Tank, off the leash Thursday morning and had sat down on a nearby bench when the 10-foot alligator jumped out of a nearby pond and swallowed the pooch.

“My dog didn’t even know what happened,” a tearful Robinson told the station. “He had that look like, yelping. He was like, ‘Help me, Mama,’ but I couldn’t do nothing.”

She said the hungry gator even came up a second time.

“He just like sat there with my dog in his mouth,” she said.

Florida Fish and Wildlife is working with the Polk County Parks and Natural Resources Division to hunt down and trap the gator. The agency said gator attacks are rare, despite several this year.

“We are saddened to hear about the loss of a beloved family pet,” it said in a statement.
