"A Florida dog owner lost her beloved pet during a walk at a local golf course when a crocodile emerged from the water and killed it.
The woman and her pit bull mix were strolling around Crandon Golf Course in Key Biscayne off the coast of Miami when the dog chased ducks near the water's edge and was captured by the reptile.
The 25lb pooch was dragged down by the crocodile and could not be saved by wildlife officials when they arrived, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials.

Commission spokesman Lorenzo Veloz told the Sun Sentinel that the crocodiles at the course normally feed on possums and raccoons from the surrounding area, and the animal thought the dog was prey.
The dog was not leashed when it ran towards the water on Saturday, and Veloz said that the incident could have been prevented if it had been. 
WSVN reported that the canine's body was still visible on the pond as of Monday afternoon.
