Hero Dog Saves Owner And Miraculously Survives A Deadly Snake Attack

Whether your dog is more of an adventurer like Lassie or a pampered pooch, who wouldn’t dare bark in the face of danger, you never truly know how protective your furry best friend is until a terrifying situation strikes.

Tracy Jacobs of Cape Town, South Africa has every right to brag about her loyal bull terrier after he nearly gave his life to protect her.

Jacobs wrote to local radio station KFM about the shocking incident, who then shared it on their Facebook page, saying her dog Dexter saved her life when she got out of her car and the bull terrier found a snake in her garage.

“He immediately grabbed it and fought it out of the garage,” Jacobs wrote.

“I picked up the snake and sent a pic to my husband who phoned me to say its a cobra and I need to get to the vet asap.”

By the time they arrived, she said her dog appeared to be “purple blue and barely breathing.” The veterinarians then feared Dexter wouldn’t make it.

“His kidneys weren’t working and his heart rate kept dropping and he couldn’t breath on his own,” Jacobs wrote.

Thankfully, by the grace of God, this furry hero miraculously survived the poisonous snake attack…and likely saved his best friend, too.

“I cant thank him enough for saving my life! The snake could have bit me! He is such a fighter and strong boy!”
