– 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.
