The dog and her seven puppies had taken a shelter under the staircase of a house at Satabhauni bazaar when a cobra slithered in and bit the two puppies, leaving them dead.

Bhadrak (Odisha):

The residents of a neighbourhood in Odisha's Bhadrak woke up to the sounds of ferocious barking and hissing on Tuesday night. They managed to capture the dramatic pictures of a fierce fight between a poisonous cobra and a dog after the reptile bit two 

of her puppies.

The neighbours immediately alerted a local snake rescuer who timely intervened, captured the cobra and took it away in a jar.

The rest of the five puppies are safe.
