Pet dog dies in a fight with a cobra in Bhubaneshwar, India

It all happened in Bhubaneshwar when a pet dog laid down its life to protect the owner from a cobra at Pokhariput in the State Capital. The incident took place on Monday noon when the venomous snake was trying to enter the house.

As the reptile saw Minati Pal, it raised its hood. While Minati stepped back, her pet dog named JD came out of the house and barked violently to scare the snake. The pup then attacked the reptile for nearly 30 minutes leading to its death. However, the dog fell after a few minutes as it suffered snake bites.

While Minati and her family rushed to the veterinary hospital to save JD’s life, the pet was declared dead at Saheed Nagar hospital.

Snake Helpline general secretary Subhendu Mallik said the pet’s loyalty has proved that dogs have always been man’s best friend.
