India
is a country with an extreme amount of street dogs, which can at times create a
lot of problems.
Like
the story of these two adorable puppies for example, who were separated
from their mother and fell down a deep pit.
A
pit so deep that their mother was unable to help them back out.
But
that wasn’t their only problem, you see, they weren’t alone in the pit.
There
just happened to be a large and deadly king-cobra down there with them.

Sometimes
things happen which you thought you’d only see in movies.
I
think these rescue workers from India experienced just that on this particular
day.
One
single bite and these puppies’ lives would have been over — the king cobra is
so poisonous that it can even kill an elephant.
To
make matters worse, the pit these poor puppies fell into was very muddy so
there was a constant risk that they would get stuck.
Fortunately,
puppies aren’t really among the things cobras like to eat but people still were
worried about their lives.

Cobra
The
snake however didn’t seem to want to hurt the puppies — quite the contrary.
The
cobra was in fact watching over them and making sure the little dogs didn’t
walk over to the other more dangerous side of the well.
For
48 hours the puppies stayed in the same spot of the well together with the
cobra.
When
the authorities finally arrived to save pups, it turned out to be easier than
they had imagined. The cobra politely moved so that the rescue team could pick
the puppies up without any problems.

Sometimes animals really have a special
ability to help and protect each other — no matter their species or size,
something we humans should learn from.
