Dog Saved Family From Cobra Attack

Catherine Isiki, who spoke in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Yenagoa, described the attack as a “mystery to a family”.

A dog on Sunday saved a family in Otuasega Community, Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa from cobra attack.

Isiki said that the cobra “invaded” their home at about 1am on Sunday.

She said: “I woke up as a result of alarm raised by my grand-daughter who was the first person to see the snake.

“I am alive today because of a dog that saved me and my family; neighbours could not kill the cobra due to its size.

“Some of our neighbours could not even come near our compound due to fear; the Mastiff (dog) was awakened by the noise.

“It was the dog that went straight to the room where the snake was and began to fight the cobra until it killed it.
