Chonburi pet dog reportedly injured from cobra poison after protecting child
Chonburi-
A pet dog has reportedly sustained injuries from cobra poisoning after evidently trying to protect a small child from a two meter long cobra in Mueang Chonburi, said the dog's owner this past weekend to the local press.
Rescue workers were notified of the cobra at a house in the Nong Maideng sub-district this weekend.
The rescue workers, which included snake handlers, arrived at the house to find what they described as a fierce cobra. It took about fifteen minutes for rescue workers to carefully catch the cobra with a snake snare.
Ms. Pimjai (no last name given), the dog's owner, told the rescue workers she believed the cobra came into the house following a toad that had earlier entered the home trying to escape the snake. A small child, whose exact relation to Pimjai was not stated, was in the house with her pet dog while Pimjai had been outside working in a garden.
According to Pimjai, the dog jumped in front of the child and began barking at the cobra which caused the snake to spray venom directly into the face of the canine. The dog was later taken to an animal hospital for treatment and is expected to fully recover, according to rescue workers who assisted.
As for the cobra, the snake was released back to a more remote forest in the Chonburi area away from potential people.
