An alligator attack victim’s dying wish is being well and truly honored, her grieving boyfriend revealed in a heartwarming update.
Brittany Clark, 31, used some of her last breaths to ask beau Chance Allison to look after her dog, Hokie, after she was savaged by a 13-foot gator while swimming in a river during a trip to Little Big Econ State Forest in Central Florida on June 28.
“Figured everyone could use a puppy update,” Allison posted on Facebook Tuesday, along with pictures of the German Shepherd and his own Pitbull-mix dog, Bulma.
“Hokie and Bulma have been the best company I could ask for. They surely love to hang there [sic] heads out the windows for all the sight and landfills haha.”
Allison, 30, posted a video showing Hokie with the wind in his face as he poked his head out of the window while being driven in a pickup truck.
Other pictures show Hokie and Bulma relaxing in the truck and Hokie with his paws in the air on a bed.
“Bad a–” bulldozer-driver Clark was visiting the beauty spot near Orlando with Allison, their dogs and her roommate, Jayden Hernandez, when disaster struck.
The nightmarish attack left her with an arm and a hand completely torn off and teeth marks on her bones, her autopsy found.
Her death was caused by “multiple blunt force injuries of the upper extremities” and the manner of death was an accident, the autopsy report said.
Clark suffered “near complete traumatic amputation of the left arm at the shoulder and near complete traumatic amputation of the right distal forearm,” the report added.
“While we were waiting for emergency services to arrive Brittany just told me to make sure I took care of Hokie,” Allison –– who runs his own business transporting dumpsters –– previously told The Post.
“It was one of the last things she said to me. I can’t recall anything else.”
