Dog fights off cobra to save master’s family in Odisha

Malkangiri: Another instance of true bonding between dog and human was found in Odisha’s Malkangiri district where a pet dog put its life at risk and fought with a poisonous snake to save his master’s family.

The bravery act of pet dog ‘Geli’ accumulated applause for her master Arjun Kisani, who is a police constable.

The incident was reported from Nakati Mandir Sahi where the 3-year-old dog fought off a cobra that was heading towards her master’s house late on June 26 night.

While five members of Arjun’s family were sleeping at night, the pet dog hindered the snake from entering into the house. She attacked it aggressively and tried to drive it out of the premises.

The fight lasted for around half an hour and finally the snake gave in and succumbed to dog bites.

After hearing the pet’s barking at night, Arjun’s family came out of the house and found the cobra dead.

However, ‘Geli’ fell ill after the fight with snake. Without making delay, the family took her to a nearby veterinary hospital for treatment. The dog is now stated to be in good condition.
