Pit bull sacrifices life after killing 12-foot-long cobra in Karnataka
Hassan: In a tragic yet heroic incident, a pit bull named Bheema lost its life after bravely fighting a 12-foot-long cobra that entered a poultry farm in Kattaya village, Hassan district. The dog, known for its courage, tore the venomous snake into 11 pieces before succumbing to its injuries.
The cobra was spotted slithering into the farm owned by Shamanth Gowda. Upon noticing the threat, Bheema, along with another dog named Ruby, a female Doberman, immediately attacked the reptile to protect the farm's residents, including Gowda's family and laborers.
Eyewitnesses reported that Bheema displayed remarkable aggression and agility, grabbing the massive snake in its mouth and biting it repeatedly. The battle lasted for 40 minutes, during which the cobra inflicted a fatal bite on Bheema’s nose. Despite the venomous attack, the pit bull continued to fight until it finally tore the snake apart.
Shamanth Gowda revealed that this was not Bheema's first encounter with dangerous reptiles. "Fighting with snakes was not new for Bheema. He had killed around 15 poisonous snakes in our plantation before," he said.
A chilling video capturing the intense fight between the pit bull and the cobra has surfaced online, garnering widespread attention. The visuals show Bheema leaping at the snake and biting it repeatedly while Ruby assists in the attack.
Although Bheema lost its life, the dog successfully prevented a potentially fatal snake attack on the farm’s residents.
