Jhansi – In a remarkable display of bravery, a pit bull named Jenny saved the lives of children by attacking and killing a highly venomous King Cobra in Shiv Ganesh Colony yesterday. The snake slithered into the garden where the domestic help's children were playing, triggering screams of terror.

Jenny, who was tied at the other end of the garden, immediately sprang into action upon hearing the children's cries. She tore through her leash and rushed to their aid. In dramatic footage captured of the encounter, Jenny can be seen shaking her head fiercely, gripping the King Cobra in her jaws. The intense struggle lasted approximately five minutes before the snake succumbed to Jenny’s relentless assault.

Punjab Singh, Jenny's owner, expressed his gratitude, stating, “I wasn't home yesterday, but my son and the kids were. This wasn't the first snake we've encountered, because our house is near the fields, and several snakes have been spotted during the rainy season. So far, Jenny has killed around 8 to 10 snakes.”

Describing the incident, Mr. Singh recounted, “Yesterday, the house help's children were playing when a black snake appeared. The children screamed and the snake turned to flee. That's when our pit bull noticed it, broke free from its leash and attacked the cobra, killing it.”

Singh praised Jenny's loyalty and heroism, highlighting the need for greater appreciation of animals. “In today's world, as people drift away from animals, these animals are doing jobs that humans should be doing. I believe that we should show love to animals. People often say negative things about pit bulls, but mine has never harmed anyone. The fight between the dog and the snake lasted for almost five minutes. If Jenny hadn't killed the snake, a tragedy could have occurred. She saved lives and earned our gratitude.”

Singh also shared a past incident where a bull saved his brother's life and mentioned their mongoose, which keeps mice at bay. The community is now recognizing Jenny not just as a pet, but as a true hero.
