In a brave act of loyalty, a pit bull named Nong Horm protected her owners by bravely facing a snake in her family’s backyard in Pathum Thani, Thailand. Tragically, Nong Horm succumbed to the snake’s venomous bite while defending his loved ones.
Nong Horm, who was about to give birth, fearlessly faced a snake with a monocle, known to be one of the deadliest snakes in the world. The brave pitbull stepped in and bit the snake’s lips, causing the venom to work quickly and kill it.
In an instant, the family was unable to act as the situation unfolded. Suriyon Chanthakhet, the owner, shared his remorse for the event. “Our exceptional dog lost her life trying to protect us from the snake,” he said. The news is devastating and is causing me overwhelming sadness. “I can’t imagine the agony she must have gone through,” he added, choked with emotion.
In the photo above, Suriyon expresses her grief over the passing of her beloved canine companion, Nong Horm. She wonders why such a tragic event had to occur. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, Nong Horm was an extraordinary and admirable dog.
