A brave dog in South Africa defended its owner from a dangerous mamba snake hiding beneath the couch. A resident of Escombe, Queensburgh, found it strange that his Rottweiler was shoving him off the couch, where he usually spends his afternoons. The dog’s owner eventually realised there might be a problem when the dog began barking at the back of the couch.

In a Facebook post, a user described their encounter. He claimed that after the owner exposed the snake, he grabbed his dog and fled. He went on to say, “I cannot tell you how many calls I get where people phone me while their dog is attacking the snake, resulting in a dead snake and at least one dead dog. I suppose panic takes over. The way this gentleman in Escombe reacted was exactly how one should react if a snake is encountered, and if you have dogs. NEVER let your dog out to kill a snake for you, it often ends badly for the dog too. Unfortunately, dogs do usually find snake before their owners, and many of times it’s too late to do anything.”
