Dogs are actually incredibly loyal pets. As hunting companions in the past, they possessed many hunting skills. However, nowadays dogs are mostly kept as pets, and aside from bullying chickens and ducks and chasing other small animals, their hunting skills are probably minimal. Even with top-notch hunting skills, practical experience is required, but who takes their dog up the mountain to practice hunting skills anymore?
When taking your dog out, always be mindful of your surroundings and safety. With the weather so hot, you never know what animals you might encounter. If you see a snake, keep a close eye on your dog and don't let it try to fight it alone... Even if your dog manages to defeat the snake, it might still get bitten, and that's a huge loss! Even humans struggle against venomous snakes these days; a dog that has lost its hunting skills and tries to fight a snake could easily get bitten.
A dog belonging to a netizen abroad fought off a venomous snake to protect its owner, finally killing it. The dog beamed with pride as it showed off its feat, and the owner happily took pictures. However, things didn't go smoothly for the dog afterwards. As you can see in the picture above, one side of the dog's face was noticeably swollen while it was smiling...
The owner initially thought the dog was alright, having defeated such a large snake, but a short while later, the dog succumbed to the venom and died... The smiling photo taken of the dog became its final portrait...
