The owner said his dog was snatched by a crocodile.
The owner lives on the water in Satellite Beach and said his pug was in the backyard for just five minutes Monday when he disappeared.
A neighbor then discovered the animal in a croc’s mouth.
While it’s not unusual to see crocodiles in Florida, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission workers said they have seen an increase in recent years.

The agency is reminding dog owners to always keep their pets on a leash and away from water.

New safety measures are coming to a popular section of Daytona Beach.
The city wants to install eight cameras along Seabreeze Boulevard — the site of two murders and more than 1,400 calls for service over the past two years.
Unlike the cameras installed by businesses, police would be able to access footage in real-time.
But Mayor Derrick Henry said a supply chain issue means it will be six months before the poles that the cameras would attach to will be available.
That has the mayor reaching out to business owners hoping for an alternative solution.
“We will pay for the camera and pay for the cost of construction, but we will need the businesses to partner with us and allow us to use their electricity,” Henry said.
The city also plans to install cameras in other areas where they’ve seen a spike in crime.

The story goes, Coral Castle was built single-handedly by Latvian Edward Leedskalnin.
His fiancé left him and after his heartbreak, he came to Florida and built the monument in secret mostly at night; somehow moving and balancing stones taller than those in Stonehenge.
Today, Coral Castle is a privately owned tourist attraction and legend remains Leedskalnin used reverse magnetism or supernatural abilities to move and carve the stones.
