“We’re getting the full Cajun experience.” This couple that just moved across the country to Louisiana was greeted by an unexpected houseguest: a 5-foot long alligator that entered their home through the doggy door.
Don and Jan Schultz talk about the alligator that entered their home, in New Iberia, La.The couple called 911, and Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries officers captured the alligator, according to KATC.
"We are real grateful for the sheriffs and Wildlife and Fisheries that came and so thoroughly dispatched the creature from our house," Jan Schultz told KATC. "I guess it's off swimming in a bayou somewhere." The couple said they recently purchased a pet door lock that only interacts with the dog's collar to prevent any further incidents.
"We are taking precautions and putting a locking dog door in now that only unlocks with the dog's collars, so we won't have this surprise in the future," Don Schultz told KATC. Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
