Yenagoa – A dog on Sunday saved a family in
Otuasega Community, Ogbia Local
Government Area of Bayelsa from cobra
attack.
Mrs Catherine Isiki, who spoke in an interview
on Tuesday in Yenagoa, described the attack
as a “mystery to the family.”
Isiki said that the cobra `invaded’ their home
at about 1 a.m. on Sunday.
“ I woke up as a result of alarm raised by my
grand-daughter who was the first person to
see the snake.
“I am alive today because of a dog that saved
me and my family; neighbours could not kill
the cobra due its size.
“Some of our neighbours could not even come
near our compound due to fear; the Mastiff
(dog) was awakened by the noise.
“It was the dog that went straight to the room
where the snake was and began to fight the
cobra until it killed it.
“I do not know how the snake managed to
gain entry to our house because everywhere is
tiled.
“In fact, it would have been a tragic story if
we did not have the dog as a pet in the
house; yes, the dog finally killed the snake,
but it was God’s intervention,” she said.
Isiki appreciated God for sparing her family
and encouraged people to keep dogs as pets.
“Dogs can save you from any untold danger,
just as my entire family was saved because I
have a pet dog in my house,” Isiki said.
