Golden Won't Give Up Lizard

Occurred on February 2022 / Pensacola, Florida, USA

Info from Licensor: "Carli is a 15-year-old Golden Retriever we adopted from the animal shelter. She's smart, fun and bosses around several of my children. I was coming home with her from a weekend caffeine run when she spotted this lizard in the bushes and pounced. It was already on camera setting as I was about to take some pictures of my flowers. When I saw she had something in her mouth I took some pics. When I saw the lizards tail move I threw the phone down turned to selfie video and tried to heroically save this poor creature. Her jaws were locked right. She didn't want to hurt the lizard but just play with it. But that was her lizard and she was not going to give it up. She eventually let go and, yes, the lizard did live but looked a little worse for wear."
