A small terrier that tormented and chased a large crocodile for the last ten years has been eaten by the reptile on the banks of Australia’s river Adelaide. The tiny pooch, named Pippa, was famous for chasing the saltwater crocodile named Casey away while she relaxed on the side of the river.
According to Yahoo News, Pippa attracted tourists who were amazed how the tiny pooch, nicknamed “Dumb Blonde,” would taunt the nasty reptile on the remote Goat Island Lodge, only accessible by an hour’s boat ride. Pippa’s owner, Kai Hansen was there when Casey finally had enough and caught Pippa in her huge jaws and dragged her into the river while horrified onlookers screamed and cried.
In the video recently posted to Facebook, Pippa can be seen running towards the crocodile, but in an instant Casey grabbed the dog and dragged her into the water. (Be warned the video is very disturbing and is not suitable for all viewing audiences)
“It was something that had a high probability of happening sometime,” stated Hansen although he said he was “really sad.”
Hansen does not blame Casey, who measures in at 11 feet, explaining that’s just what crocodiles do. Years ago, Hansen said he had almost been attacked by the reptile, but nowadays he just throws food out (meat) from the top, and no one is allowed below near the river.
Hansen has posted videos online for many years showing the 15-pound Pippa chasing the croc and admits he has encouraged the dog to chase Casey; comparing the dog’s action similar to chasing cars.
Rest in peace Pippa.
“Personally I think Hansen is a creep and should never be allowed to own any pets. What kind of a dog owner allows his pet to be in danger just for a tourist attraction and a few bucks?,” one angry woman posted on Facebook.
What do you think?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! WHAT KIND OF IDIOT LETS YOUR DOG GO NEAR AN ALLIGATOR????????? NO, IT WASN’T THE ALLIGATOR’S FAULT IT WAS THE OWNER OF THE DOG’S FAULT. THAT IS SO DISGUSTING.
Sad!
OMG: poor furbaby….. RIP….. sorry you had an idiot human who totally failed to protect you……
POS to the owner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a disgusting owner to even allow his small dog for the past 10 years taunt this crocodile is beyond cruel not only to the croc, but now the dog is gone a horrible way too. Man should never be allowed to own another dog,cat or anything that he would have and make it taunt this crocodile again. What that tiny dog must have felt as he was grabbed and went under to die a painful way.
This TOTAL SON- OF- A- BITCH NEEDS to BE COVERED in HONEY and BURIED UP to his FKING NECK IN the SAND and LET the FIRE ANTS GO to WORK on HIM!!! He encouraged his little Dog PIPPA and SHE DID her VERY BEST to PLEASE HIMMM… SERIOUSLY he NEEDS TO DIE A GRUSOME , PAINFULL , DEATH!!! He is a NARCISSIS and EVIL at HEART!!
What kind of idiot allows his dog to be that kind of situation?? This moron should never be able to own another
dog. POS!!! Rest in peace poor little Pippa…..
This moron is a total fuck up! Why would you encourage behavior that you know puts your animal at risk?! Would he encourage kids to run in front of cars also? Fucking idiot!!!
Disgraceful, shameful and inexcusable
We are their protectors he knew this would happen at some point. I will never watch the video it would literally break my heart! So sorry for “Pippa you sweet pea deserved better! RIP baby!
I agree in what this person said on face book Personally I think Hansen is a creep and should never be allowed to own any pets. What kind of a dog owner allows his pet to be in danger just for a tourist attraction and a few bucks?,” one angry woman posted on Facebook.
RIP Pippa
P O S should never be allowed another pet!!!!!!!!!
NEVER allow this creep to own another pet!! He had to know this would eventually happen!
Where were her SOB owners? Who would let a dog lay next to a river, loaded with crocodiles? I’d like to slap them into the middle of next week!
Hansen should, at the very least, not be allowed to ever have another dog.
Totally agree! Using the dog for amusement????? Hopefully that POS will be unable to have another dog for the rest of his life! What a waste of skin!
Poor Pippa should have been taken from Hanson years ago! What he was doing to her was abuse, pure and simple, and it was going to end as it did sooner or later. He caused her death as surely as if he’d thrown her right to Casey! That bastard should NEVER be allowed to have another pet.
THIS IS A DISGRACE! This idiot thought it was ok and let his dog be put in danger and KILLED!!!!! O M G
this is animal cruelty – what a disgusting man! this poor dog died a horrible death for his entertainment OMG OMG
knowing there was danger he never protected his dog, no leash nothing and let his dog get eaten alive!!!!! SICKENING
Agreed…… Hansen knew very well how this situation could end……. He didn’t love his pet, he just wanted to “use her for entertainment”…… All for money & no regard for his dog’s safety, disgusting POS…….
Precious little treasure, you didn’t deserve to die for entertainment, RIP and look for MacKitty in Heaven….. you will be welcome to join his group of snuggle buddies…….. so sorry that you were failed so horribly by humans……..
That POS who failed to protect you will burn in Hell forever for his cruelty……. let’s hope he gets there ASAP after suffering a terrible death in pain, alone, afraid and unloved…….
What – an – ignorant – ASS!
Doesn’t Australia have animal cruelty laws????
Stupid SHIT – and the poor dog pays the ultimate price…
Hansen should’ve been the one fed to the crocodile!
Rest-in-peace, precious little Pippa: EPIC FAILURE TO PROTECT!
I completely agree with the woman who angrily posted the Facebook message. This owner is a greedy subhuman who allowed Pippa to be put in danger for his own human greed. Now little Pippa is dead and it is all his fault. He didn’t care one bit about the safety of his dog, too busy counting the tourist money he mad. I hope Casey gets Hanson next. Idiot.
This Hanson asshole could have cared less about Pippa’s safety – he encouraged her to taunt the crocodile and knew damn well she could be killed but his only concern was the money he made from idiot tourists who thought this was entertainment. Now Pippa is dead – thanks to him – he did nothing to ensure her safety. I hope Casey the Croc gets Hansen next. Idiot.
apparently None of the posts were EVEN APPROPRIATE to POST ( I KNEW MINE WAS IFFY)!!!
What is wrong with Kai Hansen? Why would anyone who cared for his dog let them do such a stupid thing? This moron better never be allowed another pet! The whole incident is disgusting to say the least!
The owner encouraged the pup to annoy the animal! It shoulda eaten the guy not the pup! Poor little pup must’ve been so scared ???? when it happened! I hope she died instantly!
