ORLANDO, Fla. - A dog that was attacked by a large alligator in Oviedo, Florida is expected to undergo surgery on its road to recovery.  The incident reportedly happened on May 12 at Riverside Park. Kylee Nyiri is the owner of Mako and the two work together as part of an explosives detection team at Port Canaveral, Nyiri tells FOX 35 . She said Mako has had a build-up of fluids since his initial treatment from the attack and is expected to undergo additional surgery to determine the cause. Nyiri explained that she and her boyfriend were swimming in about a foot of water in the Little Econ River and were letting Mako cool off after a training session to help ensure Mako didn't overheat.
