12 Foot Crocodile Eats Pet Dog while Family Watches in Horror

A family having a picnic in Meda Crossing, Western Australia got a rude awakening over the weekend when a 12 foot long crocodile snatched their pet Lab just 65 feet from where they were sitting on the shoreline.

The dog had strayed away and was standing on the shoreline near a pool of water when the croc attacked at lightning speed, snatching the dog and retreating back into the water as the family watched.

Police who were called to the scene say that even though the area has a history of crocodiles living there and warning signs are posted throughout the area, people still become complacent. The area is also very popular for local residents and tourists as a picnic and sightseeing spot.

WA authorities are searching for the crocodile.
