Brave pitbull fought cobra
Images adapted from: สุริยันต์ จันทเขต
Earlier this week, Mr. Suriyan Janket shared pictures of his dead pitbull lying next to a dead cobra in Pathum Thani on his Facebook.
“Nong Hom,” the 2-year-old pitbull, was 3-months pregnant when she encountered the cobra slithering near the family’s rooster coop. As her instincts kicked in, she got into a fight with the unwelcome guest and got bit in her month – resulting in the tragedy.

No one was home
Mr. Janket revealed to Amarin TV that no one was at home when the incident took place. Even their other pitbull in the household went to play outside.
When he came home in the evening, his neighbour alerted him that they found a dead snake in front of their house. So he rushed to check on Nong Hom, who was already lifeless by that time.

One of the pictures shows Mr. Janket hugging Nong Hom’s body on the ground, revealing how much he loved her. He also said that his daughter didn’t take this too well as she kept crying and hugging her dead furry friend that evening.
