A Doberman in India is being hailed as a hero for his
valiant defense of his owners.
On Monday night, July 11, a Doberman that belonged to a
family of eight was guarding the perimeter of their home in the village of
Sebekapur under the Raygada Block of the Gajapati District in Odisha, India. As
usual, the dog dutifully went around the property.
At some point, the dog saw that there were snakes crawling
on the patio. This was alarming. Various reports have pointed out that snakes
kill more than 45,000 people a year in India. In this case, they were
especially dangerous because the snakes were all venomous cobras.
The
Doberman is an excellent guard dog.
Thus, the dog began his bloody fight against the venomous
reptiles. During his encounter with the deadly snakes, the family members said
that the Doberman would not back down. Even when he was bitten by the snakes,
the dog stayed tough and kept lunging at the snakes to bite them.
The dog killed the snakes one by one. He only stopped to
rest when he was sure that his owners were no longer threatened by the snakes.
Unfortunately, the noble dog had gotten too many bites from the snakes.
Scary:
Imagine these reptiles in your home.
Shortly after his heroic act, the dog died from the venom in
his body. The dog’s owner, Dibakar Raita, was heartbroken. He related that even
if he only bought the dog a few months ago, the animal had proven to be
fiercely loyal. “I’m shocked. He has made the supreme sacrifice for me and my
family. I will remember him till our death. I pray God — May his soul rest in
peace,” the distraught Dibakar said.
The devoted dog’s heroism has captured the attention of
people all over the Gajapati District. As such, hundreds of people flocked to
the village of Sebekapur to pay their respects to him. People brought wreaths
and flowers at the funeral procession and burial of the dog.
He
sacrificed his life for his owners.
We should all be so lucky to have such a pet in our lives.
