LIVINGSTON PARISH - A brave dog did its best to protect a Livingston Parish home after an unwanted visitor stopped by during the severe weather.

The video, originally posted to social media Saturday, shows a dog barking at a small alligator that appeared in the home's carport. A second dog initially tried to help, but eventually backed away. 

Due to heavy rain and possible flooding, officials say wildlife encounters are possible.

No animals were injured while the video was recorded.
