Like a movie
Sometimes things happen which you thought you’d only see in movies.
I think these rescue workers from India experienced just that on this particular day.
One single bite and these puppies’ lives would have been over — the king cobra is so poisonous that it can even kill an elephant.
To make matters worse, the pit these poor puppies fell into was very muddy so there was a constant risk that they would get stuck.
Fortunately, puppies aren’t really among the things cobras like to eat but people still were worried about their lives.
Friendly Cobra
The snake however didn’t seem to want to hurt the puppies — quite the contrary.
The cobra was in fact watching over them and making sure the little dogs didn’t walk over to the other more dangerous side of the well.
For 48 hours the puppies stayed in the same spot of the well together with the cobra.
When the authorities finally arrived to save pups, it turned out to be easier than they had imagined. The cobra politely moved so that the rescue team could pick the puppies up without any problems.
Sometimes animals really have a special ability to help and protect each other — no matter their species or size, something we humans should learn from.
