Every dog is a lion at home. While many must have used this old phrase to taunt people, not many would have had the chance to see it in action. A new video going around the internet is shocking people as it captured how a loud pet dog scared away a wild leopard.
In the clip going around the internet, people were shocked to see how a house pet was brave enough to stand up to a wild cat. On Wednesday, a video surfaced on Twitter from the rural area of Rahuri taluka in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra.?
In the video, a wild leopard sneaked into a domesticated part of the village and entered a house. The leopard walked in on human grounds at night and stealthily approached a pet dog that was enjoying slumber at the entrance of the human home.
The leopard tried to attack the canine but the dog was no wimp and retaliated with deafening barks to scare away the wild cat. At first, it seemed as if the barking would not work in saving the dog but somehow the leopard decided to back away and flee.?
People on the internet were shocked and relieved that the dog was able to protect itself from what could have been a fatal leopard attack. Twitter celebrated the dogĄ¯s win with a meme fest and lots of laughter.
One user complained about having to watch the blank 30 seconds of the clip before the action actually takes place and makes others laugh.
While one imagined how the dog would have felt after saving itself from a much stronger opponent.
Another wondered how the dog would actually have been scared given its deafening scream that echoed through the silent night.
One user noted how dogs in some parts of the world act as protectors while in urban living spaces, these very dogs become a matter of grave danger and concern for people.
One more mentioned how the dog was lucky that the leopard got startled by its screams and left it alone.
