A Florida man risked his own life to save his four legged friend from the jaws of a shark. It happened in Islamorada, in the Florida Keys.
Jake, a rat terrier, was swimming when a five foot shark attacked, pulling him under the water.
His owner, Greg LeNoir, dove into the water and punched the back of the shark's neck, causing it to release Jake from its grip.
Jake has teeth marks in his abdomen, back, and chest, but he is expected to fully recover.
