Tourists on a boat in the Bahamas spotted a hammerhead shark in the water — but were doubly shocked when a dog jumped in to confront the creature.
It was a battle of the bites.
“Whether he wanted to protect his island or just wanted to play with what looked to him like a really big fish in the water, he just went after it,” Rebecca Lightbourn, reservation manager at boat-operator Exuma Water Sports, told The Post. The brazen pooch, a domesticated stray Bahamian Potcake, is the pet of the caretaker who manages the private island, 20 minutes north of Great Exuma.Since the four-legged creature always greets their passing tour boats, he has been incorporated into its excursions.
On Wednesday, however, the 30 guests and two crew members aboard were provided with extra entertainment after they spotted the shark in the water.
