A courageous pet dog died after battling off a venomous snake in a desperate effort to rescue its owner’s baby child from a lethal bite.
Security cameras mounted outside the house in Kidapawan City, in the Philippines, shows two black and white dogs pouncing on the cobra.
Moxie, the two-year-old white dachshund, initially observed the lizard creeping into the front garden via the gate and instantly started barking at it.
Miley, the black dachshund, then went over and grabbed up the monacled cobra in its jaw.
Video sows the two courageous canines taking it in turns to fight the snake, with one biting its tail and the other one mauling its head.
Following the two-minute fight, the cobra was ultimately slain but it left Miley with serious bites.
The four-year-old dachshund did not survive her injuries and died minutes after the incident, while Moxie was left blinded by the cobra’s venom.
Skye’s father, Jaime Selim claimed he and his wife, Pauie, found out about the incident when they came back home.
They raced to a local veterinarian facility to get Moxie treated. She was miraculously survived but lost her sight from the injuries.
