She Fought Until her Last Moment, Just to Save Her Long time Owner.
Proving that a dog is indeed man’s best friend, a pet dog saved his owner from a cobra bite by sacrificing his own life.
A pet dog laid down its life to protect his owner from a cobra at Keshari Villa area of Pokhariput in the State Capital. The incident took place on Monday noon when the venomous snake was trying to enter the house of Minati Pal.
Seeing her, the 4-ft long reptile raised its hood. While Minati stepped back, her pet dog – a labrador named JD – came out of the house and barked violently to scare the snake. The dog attacked the reptile for nearly 30 minutes leading to its death. However, the dog fell down after a few minutes as it suffered snake bites.
While Minati and her family rushed JD to the veterinary hospital at Saheed Nagar, the vets declared the canine dead. Snake Helpline general secretary Subhendu Mallik said the pet’s loyalty has once again proved that dogs have always been man’s best friend.
The cobra was killed by others in the house and Snoopy was rushed to a veterinary hospital but died on the way.
Owner’s Daughter Said in a Newspaper Interview that “Snoopy used to wake us up in the morning. Who will do that duty from tomorrow? And he saved my dad from a cobra bite.”
